Excel defaults the alignment of the months to the center
of the chart ~ I would like to move them to the bottom of the chart. |

On the menu, select Format | Selected axis | Scale tab. In the box labeled Category (X) axis crosses at:, enter the minimum value of the y-axis. Tip: If your y-axis goes from -10 to +10, you can enter -100000 in the aforementioned box. Now if your data changes and your minimum value is -25, your x-axis remains at the bottom.

Alternatively, you can keep the axis at zero, but put the labels at the
bottom. Double click the axis or labels to format the axis. On the bottom-right of the patterns tab, choose Low for the labels. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ dvt wrote: Haldeman wrote: Excel defaults the alignment of the months to the center of the chart ~ I would like to move them to the bottom of the chart.
