•
Select Calculate from Data to calculate axis values from the data entered in
the worksheet.
•
Select Manual to enter your own Minimum, Maximum, and Between values.
The Between value determines how many steps will be displayed between each
whole number. For example, if the axis values range from 1 to 10, a between
value of 1 will display 1, 2, 3, and so on. A Between value of 2 will display 2, 4,
6, and so on.
To have the axis start with a high number and end with a lower number, enter a
negative number in the Between box.
Choose Tick Marks options. Major tick marks correspond to numbers or category
4
labels on the axis. They can be displayed across, inside, or outside the axis.
Minor tick marks are evenly spaced between major marks. The value in the
Count text box determines how many minor tick marks appear between each
major mark. They can also be displayed across, inside, or outside of the axis.
For Axis Value Labels, enter a prefix to add a label before a value (such as $ for
5
$125) and suffix to add a label after a value (such as % for 5%).
Click OK.
