Scale on X & Y Axis of the scatter chart

[chanyke]

I have a problem on setting the scale of X & Y axis of the scatter
chart. I found that the scale of the X & Y axis of the scatter chart
are not consistent. For example, 10cm represents 100 units on the
Y-axis , however, 10cm represents 500 units on the X-axis. How can I
set the X & Y axis with the same scale. This is a very urgent case, as
I need to submit the graph to my supervisor within a hour. Please help
to solve it.

Thank you

Eugene

One way is to use the drawing toolbar, draw a square (shift-rectangle), then
adjust the scales of your axes to get the divisions matching the square. I
don't think there's an automatic way of doing it.

Eugene:
Excel sets its axis scales to the values it needs to display by deafult.
You can manually adjust the scale by right-clicking the axis, selecting
Format Axis/Scale and setting the appropriate values for minimum and maximum.
