Charts minimum value

Hi,

I want my chart to start from a minimum value of 3000 from a particular cell and then add values (figures between 100-200) from a table.

For context, I have 3000 contacts from a previous list but I want to show the additional from a new list. So I dont want the axis to start from 0 but 3000.

I tried via the format axis option but that only makes axis start from 3000 which obviously makes the actual table cell figures disappear.

Also would be helpful if you could add an option to attach images to the forum which would make life easier. Obviously have a checkbox disclaimer for posters to agree any confidential data posted is their responsibilty. Just a thought.

Thanks!
Jay

RE: charts minimum value

Hi Jay,

Thank you for the forum question.

A solution is to plot values above 3000 on the primary axes and between 100 and 200 on the secondary axes.

May be the link below can help you if you want to break the value axis in two.

Excel tip:

Manually rotating a 3D chart

To manually rotate a 3D chart;
Select the chart (edit mode) and click on one corner of the chart display area. A selection border will appear, using the left mouse button on one of the chart's "corners" (mouse pointer changes to a cross) drag the image which becomes a line representation of the chart (as you begin to drag) and rotate the chart to a view of your choice.
If you dont get it right first time, dont worry, the manoeuver is a little bit tricky.
