for a lab report in biology class, I have to make a graph. i know how to change the numbers on the y-axis, but the numbers on the x-axis remain as 1, 2, 3, etc. I want them to change to 0-5, 15-25, 30-35 etc. How do I do this? Thank you for your help.
Select the axis values you want to format. Click the x-axis or y-axis directly in the chart or click the Chart Elements button (in the Current Selection group of the Format tab) and then click Horizontal (Category) Axis (for the x-axis) or Vertical (Value) Axis (for the y-axis) on its drop-down list. Be sure to select the axis values, not the axis title. Excel surrounds the axis you select with selection handles.
Click the Format Selection button in the Current Selection group of the Format tab.
Change the appropriate options on the Axis Options tab as needed.
Click the Number tab and change the number formatting as needed.
Click the Alignment tab and adjust how the labels appear. Indicate the new orientation by clicking the desired vertical alignment in the Vertical Alignment drop-down list box and desired text direction in the Text Direction drop-down list.
