Default Gridlines & Tick marks

Morning,

Annoying thing about charts in excel - i cant show the tick minor tick marks
or gridlines without showing the major ones.

The x-values in my chart are specified in the table, 70,75,80% etc. What is
weird is it works fine on the y-axis, I have the gridlines and tick marks
only opposite the values, not between categories.

How can I get the lines and larks only opposite the values/categories shown
on the x-axis?

Thanks
LD

You are working with a Line chart?
You can format the x-axis to have category labels align with the tick marks.
Just right click the axis and select Format Axis then locate the required
option
Need more details: Tell us what version of Excel you are using
best wishes
