Data Points
How if possible can i get the data points in my chart to sit on the line
itself. i.e. i have the numbers running along the bottom. 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 but the data states something should be on the 20 line, however the data point shows in the middle of 20 and 25 so the person lookin a tthe graph thinks the value is 22.5. how can i stop this. Thanks Craig |

Data Points
Change the chart type from "Line" to "XY (Scatter)".
The "Line" chart is very misleadingly named. It has nothing to do with whether you want a connecting line or not. A "Line" chart assumes that the x-axis is non-numeric category labels.
