Default formating x and 7 axis

I am creating a scatter plot and would like the x & y axis to cross at a
certain intersection. An example would be I have several different porducts
that are sold at different price points. I would like the x & y axis to
cross at our staple products price (x axis) point and quantity (y axis).

Is there a way for me to point the graph to look at a certain cells for the
intersection point?

Thanks

Hi,

You can not directly like the axis properties to a cell.
You can do it with a VBA routine. You can even get it to run
automatically by using the Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) event.

Have a look at Jon Peltier's explanation, which you can expand upon to
include the Crosses properties.

If you know what the values are, you can manually set the crossing points of the
axes. Double click the X axis, and on the Scale tab, enter the value you want in the
box for Y (Value) Axis Crosses At. Repeat for the Y axis.
