How do I eliminate duplicate values on y axis of an Excel chart?

I've created a simple line chart with smoothing. The chart has two data
series. The chart looks fine except that the Y axis has each value
duplicated.

Paul, this might be due to a number format which shows no decimal digits
but a major tick spacing of 0.5. Excel wants ticks at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2,
2.5, and 3, but the number format forces them to 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3.
Change either the tick spacing or the number format to make it right.

Thank you Jon, this helped me.

I just figured this out in the mid 2022 version of excel:
1. Right click the Y axis
2. Click on format axis
3. Set the Y axis upper range under Bounds > Maximum
4. Set the Y axis increments under Units > Major (This is the main part of your question, I'm not sure the Minor is for though)
And that's all!
