Excel - why use a logarithmic scale in a chart?

P

I understand how to change the scale on the value axis to logarithmic, I am
just not sure why I would do so.

Usually helpful when:
a) Trying to plot exponential series (such as in calculus, some physics,
etc)
b) Trying to distort data so your customers don't see how badly your company
is losing money *grin*
