Default What happened to logarithmic charts?

I can't seem to find the feature and I really need it.

To be honest, I think the new version does a poor job with charts.
Maybe someone can help me understand so it's not just me hating the unknown.

Thanks,

Noemi

XL 2007 has made log charts more logical - they are regular chart with a log
scale and not a separate type of chart.
Make your XY, Line , Bar, or Column chart in the normal way; then open
dialog to format the axis and check the Logarithmic Scale box. Note also we
now can have logs to bases others than 10; I like base 2 for many purposes

best wishes

Hi,

There are many nice features in 2007, and there are a myrid of new
formatting options, this has lead to a rather complex interface for handling
charting. I certainly epathize with you, but 2007 was a massive upgrade and
we can expect many modifications in future versions; its a work in progress.
