If I have a range of numbers such as follows:

5239
2181
989
568
420
203
161
44

I want my graph to show the first 1000 axis ticks as 0, 100, 200, 300, etc. Then above 1000 I would like the axis ticks to be 1000, 2000, 3000, etc.

Is there any way to set this up? Any advice is appreciated.
 
Right click on axis, choose Format Axis, scale Tab. Use Logarithmic scale.

Your chart will now be non-linear if it was linear before.

That only works if I want a logorithmic axis. I don't necessarily want the data graphed logarithmically. And it doesn't set the axis up the way that I need.
 



Hi,

The you'll have to set up TWO charts;

First chart MAX SCALE of 1000
Second chart MIN SCALE of 1000

and stack them

Skip,
