Changing the Scale Style of an Axis

Prerequisites

You can change the scale style of a values axis but not of a categories axis. This is regardless of whether it is the X axis or the Y axis.

Context

You can specify one of the following three scale styles:

  • Linear

  • Logarithmic

  • Time

The scale style determines what other formatting options are available for a values axis.

Procedure


  1. Double-click the axis.

  2. Choose Scale.

  3. Select the scale style required.
