y-axis auto scaling...
every chart i create has a y-axis starting at 0, even if my data is something
like 100,101,105,99 (all close to ~100). ideally, the chart's y-axis ~should be something like 90 - 110, or something like that. is that just how excel (2007) works?? i know i can manully change max and min values, but it would be great if excel "tried" a little harder to get in the range!! -- dh13134 |

Previous versions of Excel used zero for the axis minimum if the minimum of
the data was < about 5/6 of the maximum. As far as I know, Excel 2007 works about the same. This is built into Excel, and there's no setting to change this behavior. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ Advanced Excel Conference - June 17-18 2009 - Charting and Programming http://peltiertech.com/Training/2009...00906ACNJ.html _______ "dh13134" wrote in message ... every chart i create has a y-axis starting at 0, even if my data is something like 100,101,105,99 (all close to ~100). ideally, the chart's y-axis ~should be something like 90 - 110, or something like that. is that just how excel (2007) works?? i know i can manully change max and min values, but it would be great if excel "tried" a little harder to get in the range!! -- dh13134 |
