Hi all,

I'm trying to create two graphs. One is a column graph. The other is an x y scatter. But I have the same problem for both.

I need to remove the first and the last tick marks on the x axis and their labels. Note that the tick marks must be located outside the axis (not inside). I'm not too concerned about removing the labels since I can just remove all of them and replace the ones I want with text boxes. But removing the first and last tick marks is something I haven't found a solution for.

I have tried removing all the tick marks and just replacing the ones I want using error bars. Unfortunately, those error bars will only display on the outside of the axis (in the minus direction) if the y axis extends below the x axis (otherwise the error bars get cut out). The y axis can't go below the x axis.

Any ideas or solutions are much appreciated.

Thanks

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
