Graphing distortion
 

I have a set of Y data points:
1.017
0.9961
0.9958
0.9959
0.9949
0.9955
0.9958
0.9957
When i graph the points it basically gives me a straight line with a tail
that shoots way up at the first point. I want to be able to really see the
difference in all my points rather then looking at basically a straight line
with a big tail. Is there a way I can logarithmically calculate my points or
some other way to get a better picture?

You should be able to set the scale increments (to show in increments of 10
or 100 or whatever). Alternatively, you might try a couple of other
varieties of charts, I find that sometimes even onet that looks similar might
perform differently. But overall I think adjusting your scale should do the
trick.

Make two charts. One goes from 0.99 to 1.02, the other from 0.994 to 0.997.
