Simple X Y Graph ... I thought
I'd like to make a simple XY graph. I want a 5 x 5 grid with two points
plotted. My problem is, I want the points to fall between the grid lines, not on them. In other words, for a point of X=1, Y=1; I want the dot to be in the middle of the bottom, left square. Of course, I'd want the axis marks to be within the gridlines also (i.e., the X-axis label of "1" would be written in between the Y-axis and the first gridline). Is there a way to do this? Thanks! -Debbie |

Have you thought of using a Line chart or adding 0.5 to the data to be
plotted? -- Bernard Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove CAPS in email address "DebbieMac" wrote in message ... I'd like to make a simple XY graph. I want a 5 x 5 grid with two points plotted.

Debbie -
You could make some fake gridlines, following this procedu http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/...Gridlines.html If the squares are to be centered on the whole numbers, the min and max of each axis need to be at 0.5 and 5.5, so you probably need custom axis labels, to only get the whole number labels: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ArbitraryAxis.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ DebbieMac wrote: I'd like to make a simple XY graph.
