Hi-
I've just started playing with making charts in Numbers.
When I select some cells and then ask Numbers to produce a chart it does so and sets it's own values for the Y-Axis.
How can I set MY OWN values for the upper and lower limits (ie. 0 at the bottom, and, say, 1000 at the top, and not the 200 at the bottom and 800 at the top that it is has put in automatically.)
Thanks!

Hi Andrew,
Here is a Scatter Plot. Data must be in Body Cells, not Header Columns or Header Rows.
Click on the graph and Format Panel > Axis > Value (Y)
Set Max and Min to what you want. You can also change the number of steps if you don't like the default.
The procedure is slightly different for a Category Chart (all the other types except Bubble Chart).
Good ideas in New From Template Chooser > Charting Basics.
Regards,
Ian.
Thanks Ian - my X-Axis was using Header Data so maybe this is why I couldn't get it to work.
All sorted now - many thanks for a concise and clear answer!
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the feedback and the green tick. Glad it now works. Keep posting in Numbers for Mac.
