Positioning of y-axis scale
Hello, All!
I hope this is not a FAQ but I have not been able to think of a suitable search phrase. In one particular chart, I find it convenient to have the y-axis on the *right* for quick reference to the latest values. I know how to do that by adjusting the crossing value (following Jon Peltier's instructions for an x-axis) but the scale then appears *inside* the chart area not outside where I would like it. If the axis were a secondary axis, the scale would be positioned as I want it but I don't think you can have a secondary axis without a primary, can you? Again, to have identical primary *and* secondary axes might be a possibility and even desirable but is this possible? Thanks in advance. James Silverton Potomac, Maryland, USA |

Hi,
Double click the x axis and on the scale tab check Value (Y) axis crosses at maximum category. James Silverton wrote: Hello, All!

Thanks, that is essentially what Jon Peltier suggested, tho for the y-axis I used a crossing value much larger than can anticipated. However the problem of the placing of the *scale* remains, which appears to the *left* of the markers; in other words on the graph. James Silverton. |

AP James Silverton wrote (and was wrong.....JVS! ) Thank you Andy, that does exactly what I wanted with the scale to the right. The prescription I was using is correct for placing the x-axis at the bottom of a chart since there is no choice to get the x-axis to cross at a minimum. Sorry about the far too quick and wrong reply. James Silverton. |
