When dealing with charts in Excel, just with everything else- options are virtually limitless. You can customize your data in any way that you want, and along the way, give yourself and whoever uses them, a perfect view of your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the example below, we will show one interesting option in dealing with charts and how we can make our X-axis linear<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make X-Axis Linear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the exercise, we will say that we have miles run by different participants in an hour’s time and the place they took in the race in comparison with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Timeline\n\nDescription<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If we go on and select columns B and C<\/strong>, and go to Insert >> Charts >> Recommended Charts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Graphical<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once there, we can choose among many options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Graphical<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In any of the recommended charts, we do not see any of the options that could show our X-axis linear<\/strong>. To do this, we will have to click Cancel<\/strong>, select data in columns B and C<\/strong> again, and we need to choose XY Scatter chart<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Graphical<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We will go to Insert >> Charts<\/strong> again and choose the scatter<\/strong> ones, as in the picture above. In our case, the best option is to use Scatter with Straight Lines and Markers<\/strong>, which we have chosen above. When we click on it, we will have the following picture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chart,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our data is now shown linearly. To make it even more presentable, we will click on the X-axis<\/strong> and then go to the right-side window. There, we will choose axis options, and then limit the bounds from 4.00 to 7.00<\/strong> (as our data is in this range):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Graphical<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once we do this, this is what our chart looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
