outliers in charts
I have created a simple bar chart, but I have a few outliers that skew the
layout of the chart. for example: a = 2 b = 3 c = 78 d = 2 e = 1 f = 3 g = 150 etc I still need to include "c" and "g", but because I have a lot of data it makes the rest of the bars so low you can't tell accurately what they are. I have tried to change the scale with the intention of having a data label on the out-liers, but that doesn't work as I could only make the data label show on all bars (which I don't want) and it only shows at the top of the bar so the outliers still don't show a value. Does anyone have any ideas, please? Thank you |

Hi,
If data labels would work - you can add them to individual points by 1. clicking the series once, then clicking the data point once, then choosing Format, Selected Data Point, ... -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Tuxla" wrote: I have created a simple bar chart, but I have a few outliers that skew the layout of the chart. for example: a = 2 b = 3 c = 78 d = 2 e = 1 f = 3 g = 150 etc I still need to include "c" and "g", but because I have a lot of data it makes the rest of the bars so low you can't tell accurately what they are.

You could try this approach, which will work just as well on a column chart:
