Specifying scales for the chart

You can specify a scale for the axis representing data which is dependent on data displayed on the other axis (usually the X axis). You cannot specify a scale for the first element in a coordinate pair (usually referred to as the X Axis).

In this example, the minimum scale is 100, the maximum scale is 500 and the baseline entered in the Cross at field is 200:

On the X Axis (or Y Axis) tab:

  1. In the Scale section of the relevant axis tab:
    Minimum
    Type the smallest number in the range of values for display on the X axis (or Y axis).
    Maximum
    Type the largest number in the range of values for display on the X axis (or Y axis).
    Cross
    Type the scale value signifying where to display the baseline of the chart.
  2. Click OK to save the changes.
