How do i change the axis scale in excel to show 0 - 1,600?

RE: Axis

Hi Christopher

Thank you for your question. Click on your chart and from the Chart Tools ribbon click on the Layout tab then choose Axes from the Axes group. Choose either the Primary Horizontal or Primary Vertical axis menu items. Either choice will take you to a menu of pre-set axis formats. If none of those are what you are looking for click the last item in the menu More ...(Vertical/Horizontal)... Axis Options.

From here the Axis Options tab lets you specify the Min and Max and Unit values. The remaining tabs let you adjust the axis formatting further.

I hoe this helps - do let me know if you have any further questions.


Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: Axis

Thanks for this it has helped a lot but to get my numbers 0 - 1,600 seems not to be working.

Thanks

RE: Axis

Hello Christopher,

My first question to you is:

What is the maximum value of the chart data?

Presumably it is less than 1600? Are you saying that the only numbers you want to see in the vertical axis is 0 and 1600 and not all the numbers inbetween? If this is the case, then click the Axes button, select the Primary Vertical Axis and then select More Primary Vertical Axis Options... In the Axis Options section make sure that you select the Fixed radio button for Maximum and enter 1600. Then for the Major Unit select the Fixed radio button and again enter 1600. Close the dialogue box and now you will see 0 - 1600 on the vertical axis of the chart.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Excel tip:

Change the Print button so it brings up the Print dialogue box

If you want to bring up the Print dialogue box to check your print settings when you hit the Print button, do the following:

1. Right-click on the toolbar that displays the Print button.

2. Select Customise.

3. Click on the Print button on the toolbar to select it, then hold the left mouse button down and drag the button towards the screen below. The button should come off the toolbar.

4. In the Customise dialogue box on your screen, select the Commands tab.

5. Select File from the Categories list, and then locate the Print... icon (looks like the normal Print button, but the word Print has three dots following it).

6. Click on the Print... icon to select it, then use your left mouse to drag and drop the icon onto the toolbar at the top of the screen.

7. Close the Customise dialogue box.
