X Axis to Scale
 
I am charting the following with a line graph.

10% 10.3
33% 9.6
35% 9.4
50% 7.3

I have the percentages on the x axis but they are showing up as four
distinct categories rather than as values so that 35% is the same distance
from 33% as 33% is from 10%. Is there a way for the y values to plot against
a smooth x-axis from 0% to 100%?

Thanks.

Erin

Hi,

Try changing the chart type to Stacked Line which with your data could be
the 2nd, 3rd, 5th or 6th subtype under Line.

If you want to treat the values as values, not as categories, use XY, not
line chart. The terminology is confusing.
