Hi,

I have included a pic of a graph I have. I find the jump from $48.2 to $54.4 is not as emphasized as much I would hope between the two data points, I would have expected in terms of height the $54.4 point to be taller which makes the jump from one year to the next seem more emphatic in the chart.
Is there anything I can do with either the axis or data point to make the jump in height of points appear bigger?

Thanks

You don't have a pic attached. Although xl2bb add in doesn't copy chart images posting the data of your chart would be helpful.

But, a short answer to your question would be to make your y axis range smaller. But this is dependent on what kind of baseline standard your data has.
If your data spans 10 to 90, then a 6.2 jump only represents about 8% of the axis size and you can't do much about that
