Default Semilogarithmic Chart Setup?

Hello,

Attached is a manual semilogarithmic chart created by using cells as the
grid and drawing tools for lines, points, and descriptions. The chart has a
linear y-axis and a (10 x N1.85) logarithmic scale X-axis, which is used to
determine the intersect point of hydraulic demand and hydraulic supply
(x-axis on the attached is not to scale). The use of one of three X-axis
cycles is possible depending on the criteria of supply and demand. The
x-axis is also described as a (10 x Q1.85) semiexponetial chart.

How do I setup Excel (2002) to automatically generate a graph based on the
attached? Chart creation attempts have so far have produced a 10 based
logarithmic x-axis only that is not the scale needed.

Thanks,

Rick

Rick -

Excel doesn't let you use any old values for the endpoints of a log
axis, you must use powers of ten. But you can fake it with a dummy
axis. Check out the Arbitrary Log Scale Axis example on Tushar Mehta's
site (http://tushar-mehta.com) or the Arbitrary Axis Scale example on mine:
