Chart, Formatting X-axis

Chart, Formatting X-axis

Chart, Formatting X-axis

(OP)
Hi,
I have such data:
X      Y
1.1    4
1.7    3
2.2    2

I like to have a chart with these numbers on its X-axis: 0 1 2 3 ...(and not 1.1, 1.7. 2.2 ..)
How can I do that?

Thanks

RE: Chart, Formatting X-axis

Right click on the axis and select "format axis..."

Play with the major and minor units.

RE: Chart, Formatting X-axis

chart using a "line" plot, rather than a "scatter" plot ... this converts the x co-ordinate into "categories" rather than numbers

RE: Chart, Formatting X-axis

It sounds like you might be using line chart instead of an XY (scatter) plot.  If you want the x-axis in integers (instead of something like 0.5,1.0,1.5,etc) than you will have to do as MintJulep suggests.

WOw! So quick
Thank you.
Actually I was in "line" type of curve, but now I changed it to Scatter, and it works.
But, the other problem!
I can't see any curve, There are just some "points"!
Thank you again guys.
My supervisor push me to that before long weekend.

RE: Chart, Formatting X-axis

In the Chart Wizard there are 5 sub-types to select from (points, points&lines, just lines, etc.).  Alternatively you can double-click on the data series on the chart and select the 'Patterns' tab.  Here you can put in lines, change the marker types and make them all sorts of pretty colors.
