Is possible to change the scale of the chart to reflect a large range of
data ie creat a break in the scale?

I have a data set that consists of variables ranging from 25 to 0.1,
there are roughly three variables that are in between 20 - 25 and the
remainder are (25) are in the range of 0.1 to 1. As such, when I graph
this data in a regular bar chart I can only see the three variables that
are between 20 - 25 as the scale does not allow me to the lower valued
variables. In regards to this problem I would like to break the scale
so it would ready, 0.2, 0.2,0.3 ....1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25.

If you can help with this problem it would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Axis breaks are not a built in feature but they can be created.
Here is an example, including links to alternatives.
