RE: log log graphs

Plot it as an "X-Y (Scatter)".  Format each axis to log scale (Scale -> Logarithmic scale).....

RE: log log graphs

Just guessing - the original poster might want the limits of the axis to be the actual data limits, not the nearest power of 10. In which case, I think, the answer is no.

Thanks for your help but Greg is correct I want the axes to show the original data values.

RE: log log graphs

You can probably do this if you are prepared to write some Visual Basic... but it sounds like a fair amount of work.

If you just want to do it for your own satisfaction and can live with logs as the axes then just plot the log of each series as a normal x-y plot, then you can rescale to your heart's content.

Cheers
