y axis category labels on line graph
Thanks for your help, but I really need to label both the y and the x axis
category, I have not been able to do that using the links below. I will have another try though.

y axis category labels on line graph
There is no way to plot categories on a Y axis. Excel cannot plot text, only
numbers. The examples I cited show how to use Excel to plot numbers, while putting labels on the chart so people interpret the vertical axis as having categories. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Elaine" wrote in message ...
