Default My chart is too big

I have a spread sheet that hat 3 months of data expressed as a percentage. I
need to look at the trend over the entire three months. When i use a chart,
the data is shown from 0% to 120% All of the data is between 75% and 100%.
The wasted space at the end causes all the trend lines to appear flat so that
I do not get the impact I want. How do I get the chart to display from 75% to
100% only?
I am using a standard line chart.

Hi,

Double click the Y axis and on the Scale tab set the Maximum and Minimum
to the values you want.

Cheers
Andy
