Formatting the font of X axis values
Hello,
In Excel 2007, the X axis labels I have chosen are as follows: -1, 3, 4, -3 etc. i.e. the X axis reads the above numbers. However I am trying to format the numbers as follows so that the negative numbers will show red. 0.0;[Red]-0.0 The X axis for some reason does not seem to take the above formatting. Any ideas why? |

If your chart is of the type "X Y (Scatter)" this formatting works. But if you chart is of some other type, like Bar, Line, Column, I guess the X-axis labels are interpreted as text and not as numbers. What type of chart do you have? Lars-Åke |
