Format Y-Axis
 
I am trying to get my Y-axis to go from 1-30 with major unit gridlines at 5
and no minor units.

The Format Axis / Scale Tab reads:
Minimum=0
Maximum=30
Major Unit=5
Minor Unit=1 (have marked no gridlines and it can't be 0)

When I do this, it throws out 0's and 1's on the Y-axis...how can I fix this
problem?

Bethieppooh:

Your post raises at least two questions:

1.***** Y Axis range & interval

You have told Excel that you want Y axis from 0 to 30 with major interval of
5.

Excel expects uniform Y axis intervals like: 0-5-10-15-20-25 or
1-6-11-16-21.

Trying to get Excel to start at 1 then go to 5-10-15 etc is a non-uniform Y
axis interval.

Excel can give you 1-6-11 etc or 0-5-10 etc, it can't give you 1-5-10-15,
etc unless you create a dummy series.
