how do I break the y axis in a chart
I have a column chart with 0-400 on the Y axis, and only two or three columns
out of about fifteen that go to around 400, with the rest staying down below ten. I want to put those little squiggle breaks in the long columns and on the Y-Axis that tell people that the column is a lot longer than shown, but has been shortened for convenience sake and to show up the shorter columns. Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks |

how do I break the y axis in a chart
I have the same problem and found this link to be quite a long process and
for a very dated version of Excel. Any tips for creating a break in the verticle axis with 2007? Thanks.

how do I break the y axis in a chart
The protocol works in Excel 2007. Things haven't advanced that far in ten
years. The process is long because it requires a fairly major workaround, and there isn't much you can do to shorten it. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "rslaughter5" wrote in message ...
