Default how to graph a horsepower curve in excel (horsepower vs. rpm)

I want to graph a power curve using excel's charts. I can't change the axis X
or Y to the range of data. That is I want my data to make the axis
increments because I want to compare the two sets of data to plot the curve.
Please help me.

I really don't understand your question as you stated it, but have you
selected and X-Y scatter charter?

Can you describe your data, the layout for the two series, what you are
getting and what you want to see?

First, thanks for looking at my post. I have seen charts of other curves in
other web-sites but nothing on how to make one. I know how to change the
scale, what I want to do is use a set of eleven numbers ranging from 0 - 2.25
(horsepower) on the x axis, on the y i have eleven numbers ranges fron 2450 -
2900 (RPM) everywhere these numbers cross i want to plot a dot and connect
them with a curve. I because my assignment is due Wensday I'm trying to do
it by hand which for me is still hard. But I would still like to know how to
make one in the future.

You put the data on a worksheet, then create the chart from there.

Put the 11 numbers from 0-2.25 in a column, say A1:A11. In B1:B11 put the
corresponding values for the RPM. Then select A1:B11, then Insert/Chart, and
follow the steps in the Wizard. You should select an X-Y scatter chart as the
type.
