Note: Once you have created a graph with a separate right and left axis, you cannot
adjust the axis values. To change the axis values, you must change the graph back to a left
side-only value axis.

To set the graph so that all data can be read on two different scales:
1 Assign some data columns to one scale and the rest of the data columns to the
other scale.

2 Set the minimum and maximum on the two axes to be equivalent as described in
. For example, for a graph in which
one axis displays a Celsius scale and the other a Fahrenheit scale, you can set the Celsius
scale to 0 (minimum) and 32 (maximum), and set the Fahrenheit scale to 32 (minimum)
and 122 (maximum). All the data in the graph can then be read accurately on either scale.

Setting axis tick mark and label options
You can add tick marks to show units of measurement in a graph, and you can add infor-
mation to labels including units of measurement such as “$.”
mation to labels including units of measurement such as “$.”
Tick marks are the lines placed perpendicular to the axes to show the units of
measurement. They can be used either horizontally or vertically or both to set categories
apart in a line graph, for example, or to separate categories in a column or scatter graph.

You may need to change axis attributes such as tick marks or labels when a single graph
contains more than one graph type. (See

To set tick mark and label options:
1 Choose an axis from pop-up menu in the top left of the Graph Type dialog box:
•
Value Axis to set options for the axis that displays the graph’s unit of measurement.
The y axis is the value axis for column, stacked column, line, and area graphs. The x axis
is the value axis for bar and stacked column graphs.

Note: The Value Axis option is not available when a graph is set to display value axes on
both sides. (See

•
Left Axis, Right Axis, Bottom Axis, or Top Axis to set options for a specific axis when a
graph is set to display value axes on both sides.
•
Category Axis to set options for the axis that defines the graph’s categories. The x axis is
the category axis for column, stacked column, line, and area graphs. The y axis is the
category axis for bar and stacked column graphs. The Category Axis option is not
available for scatter, pie, and radar graphs.

2 For value axes, left axes, right axes, bottom axes, or top axes, select Override Calculated
Values to manually calculate the placement of tick marks. Either accept the values set
when you created the graph or enter a minimum value, a maximum value, and the
number of divisions between labels.

3 Choose a tick mark length from the Length pop-up menu.
4 Specify how many tick marks to draw in the Draw Tick Marks Per Division text box.
