log graphing

[jason]

I have a defined set of data that I want to graph. I want
the y-axis to be linear but I want the x-axis to be in
logarithmic scale. How do I do this?

 

[Bernard Liengme]

Make an BY chart.
Right click the x-axis; select from popup menu Format Axis
Open the Scale tab on the dialog box and check the Logarithmic box

Best wishes

Jason -

First, make sure you make a Scatter (XY) chart, not a line chart. You
can format the series in this to look just like those in the line chart,
with the added bonus of using the X values as their numerical values.
Leave the Y axis alone, but double click on the X axis. On the Scale
tab, check the Logarithmic Scale checkbox.
