How to add tick marks to all sides of graph

Hi,


I'm trying to format a graph in numbers and would like to know how to add tick marks to all axies on the graph, ie. top, bottom, left & right.


I can get tick marks on the bottom and left axis, but can't seem to find a way to add them to the others.\


Thanks,

Oscar

Hi Oscar,


Numbers 2.3, but this will work in Numbers 3.0.1 with different Inspector choices.


When in doubt, cheat! This will give a second Y axis. It is a 2-Axis Chart (the bottom one in this screen shot of Chart Types):

Column C (Value 2) has dummy values copied from Column B (Value 1).

Now hide the Column graph by selecting it and changing the fill to None. (Inspector > Graphic > Fill > None).


Set gridlines, tick marks, hide Legend as you wish.

To add a second X axis at the top, Chart Inspector won't do that. Insert Shapes and Text Boxes?

Ian.
