Also check Chart|Chart Options. Depending on the chart, you might have a time-scale selected or something (although I think that may apply only to the X axis.) If those aren't the problem, then post back and tell us what chart type you're working with, what the data in the data sheet says, and what the numbers you see on the Y axis actually are. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ PPTLive!

Re: y axis problems in chart gbl 13.08.2006 02:54:01 no didn't work i still have the problems especially in 2d bar and line charts. I have have an array that mshows for example the % of people who respond yes or no over a 6 yr period. while the ppolot area is perfect i may get constant values showing on on the y acecss ( major values) sch as -233, -233, -233. hoever, when i add data labels (values) the corect values show on the chart. the problem is just with the y axis "Echo S" wrote: [Quoted Text] > "gbl" <gbl[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:B843C710-843A-4037-8930-0C92553DAF76[ at ]microsoft.com... > > no matter what data i have entered on the chart datasheet, i keep getting > > unrelated nonsence #s on the y axis > > Double-click the axis and see what you have selected on the Number tab. > > Also check Chart|Chart Options.

Re: y axis problems in chart "Echo S" <msnewsgroups[ at ]echosvoiceUGHSPAM.com> 19.08.2006 14:40:24 Well, since I haven't received a response from the original poster, I'll at least post this in case anyone else has this issue. This is a known bug in Beta 2 of PowerPoint 2007. (I know because I reported it quite some time ago.) It has been fixed, but I don't know if it will show up in the Beta 2 Technical Refresh or not. Folks, it really helps to mention which version of PPT you're using. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ PPTLive!

Re: y axis problems in chart google[ at ]istcd.com 06.09.2006 00:23:47 It carries backward. I edited a presentation started in 2000 with 2007B2, and kept hitting the same problem, even though I gave up and edited it in 2003. It also affects new charts made in the existing presentation (2000-->2007-->2003). Glad to know I'm not nuts. Not thrilled there isn't a solution. Sigh...

Re: y axis problems in chart "Echo S" <msnewsgroups[ at ]echosvoiceUGHSPAM.com> 06.09.2006 01:39:34 You're definitely not nuts, but it is rather freaky when it happens. :-) IIRC, it's associated with compatibility mode. If you're making your edits while in "straight 2007 mode," the axis should be okay. I think. Basically, that means you open your PPT file and save it as a PPT 2007 file (.PPTX). Then do your editing. Finally, save it back to 2003-compatible .PPT once you've completed the editing. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PPT 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/ PPTLive!
