Splitting Y-Axis into 2 for a line chart
Hi,
I have a bunch of data series that I want to chart using a line graph with $ on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. The trouble is that about half of them have relatively low y-values (between 0 and $100) whilst the rest have high values ($600-$1000). My question is: Does anyone know of any way to manipulate the y axis so that it ues a scale of, say, $20 for the 0-$100 section, and then "jump" to $600 (with zig-zag or something on the y-axis to tell the user that the graph is non-continuous) and continue the chart there? Otherwise the scale just becomes too large or too small to make any sense of trends within these 2 blocks. Many thanks for your help in advance! |

Jason,
You can apply the concepts explained at Jon and Andy's sites to your line chart: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/BrokenYAxis.html http://www.andypope.info/charts/brokencolumn.htm ---- Regards, John Mansfield http://www.pdbook.com "Jason" wrote: Hi, I have a bunch of data series that I want to chart using a line graph with $ on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
