I have a list of values its a load vs. deformation chart....i want the load
on the y-axis and deformation on the x....i have the chart made and
everything looks fine except the deformation is way off. my deformations are
..01 inch and its reading like 1000 on the axis for some reason. how do i fix
it to read the correct values. this new program is awful I wish it was like
the old excel because I knew how to do that

Perhaps you used the wrong type of chart? Are you sure that you used an XY
chart? Things like line charts have category numbers, rather than using the
X values which you have specified.

Hi,

If you have you data on a line chart I would expect it to show number like
1, 2, 3,... not 1000. Are you giving us all the details?
