Default Chart Axis Value


I am using a line chart, where the chart results are driven by a
validation list. So when I choose a specific product, up come sales,
forecast and ajusted forecast for the product.

Seeing that we are not living in a perfect world, the acuals differs
quite by a huge amount depending on the product.

What I want to achieve is to set the Major Axis (Y Axis) value to 20 %
or a fifth of the total value, as I want only 5 gridlines in my
charts.

I have linked my Chart Title a to a cell (Validation Cell, so chart
title = product name), but I cant seem to ink the Y axis major value to
a cell. Is this possible, if so, is there somebody who can assist me
with my request.

Thanks to ever is willing to lookat this request.

Thiem -

This is not a native Excel capability, but you can use VBA to achieve
the same effect:

Near the top of the article is a link to an add-in by Tushar Mehta that
handles it for you.
