    Chart Axis uncooperative or misunderstood

    Struggling with the axis in charts. Either I am trying to add too much or I don't understand the minimum and maximum values. If anyone can take a minute to enlighten me I'd appreciate it.

    Going to need a little more information to go on than that!
    What are you actually trying to achieve?

    So, I am a little closer to what I want but I am not understanding why the line axis extend beyond the weeks or how I can get them to align.

    Looking at previous posts here kinda figure out the min. and max. values. But can't figure out why the line axis for difference between... and % don't align with the weeks.

    The ranges for your "Planned PPH", "Actual PPH" and the X axis were starting in row 6 whereas the rest were starting in row 7, so everything was a little off kilter.

    Change the ranges to match and everything sorts itself out.

    Absolutely right. Took me a minute to find what you meant. Everyday I learn something new about this "brain tumor causing" yet enjoyably addictive program. Thank you for your help BSB.

    Happy to help.

    As for learning something new every day with Excel.... I've been doing that for 20 years with it and it's still enjoyably addictive to me too.
