I would like to see a Graph in X-Y. This was available in 123 for.

In Lotus 123 I had the possibilty to have an actual X-Y graph which always
kept its the relation between the 2 axes.
In excel I use the spreaded graph but I always have to change the dimension.
I use it to draw 2 dimensional figures in the spreadsheet.

Not sure I understand what you want to do but you might want to check
out the XY Scatter chart (as opposed to the Line chart).

You can use VBA procedures to modify the axes in ways that are not built
into Excel. To make the gridlines equally spaced in the X and Y
directions, try this:

Re: I would like to see a Graph in X-Y. This was available in 123

This code makes the axes 1:1 on the monitor (which was much more than I could
do), but when I printed it out, Excel still flattened the graph. Is there a
way to make Excel print a graph with axes scaled 1:1? Other than trial and
error?

Select the chart, then select File | Page Setup... | Chart tab. Select
the 'Custom' size option. I *believe* that will retain the shape of the
chart.

Alternatively, select the cells beneath the chart and print them at 100%
scaling.

This still results in a slight flattening, so it will take one trial to determine
how much to fudge it by.
