Increasing resolution of a surface contour plot
I have data that needs to be plotted in a surface contour plot. The Z axis
is in percentage of the maximum value. The plot will only show the curves in 20% increments. I would like at least 10% resolution, better yet 5%. Is there any way to change how the plot is drawn to get these resolutions? |

Increasing resolution of a surface contour plot
In Classic Excel, right click on the legend, choose Format, and make
adjustments on the Scale tab. If you're using Excel 2007, I don't know where this setting is, but you could still try the legend. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "rtbrd" wrote in message ...

Hi,
You need to adjust the Major Unit of the Value axis. In xl2003 you can use the Legend to do this. Format legend and on the Scale tab adjust Major Unit. In xl2007 you will need to select the value axis. Cheers Andy -- Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info "rtbrd" wrote in message ...
