Setting a Maximum Value for a Chart

As you enter numbers in your chart, a maximum value for your chart will automatically be set, or you can set a maximum value of your own. The top value will automatically round up from the top value of the data that you are entering. So, depending on your data, it will be rounded to the nearest ten, hundred, or thousand.

To Set a Maximum Value:

  • Double click on a value on the side of the chart.
  • The Format Axis dialog box appears.
  • Click on the Scale tab.

Format Axis dialog box with Scale tab selected

  • Change the number for Maximum to the maximum number in your presentation. For example, 100.

  • Click OK.
