Changing Time Scale to Seconds on Excel Chart
My students are plotting the temperature of a liquid over time. We can make
a beautiful line graph, but the scale of the X axis is wrong. It should show tick marks at 30 second intervals, but instead it just shows 1, 2, 3, etc. I have tried checking off "time scale" when I create the chart, but it uses the interval of days, months or years. We want intervals of seconds. Can this be done? Also, is it possible to add straight lines (i.e., y=30) to the line graph? |

Changing Time Scale to Seconds on Excel Chart
Use an XY (Scatter) plot instead of a Line chart.
To add the constant 30 line, add a new column next to your existing data with 30 in all cells. Then go to Chart Source Data and add the series. "JaneinPA" wrote in message ...
