    Plotting Horizontal and Vertical Grid

    Hi,
    I humbly seek help and tips to plot a grid based on the value entered. For instance, size 31" to be plotted into 3 vertical lines and 43" to be cut into 4 horizontal lines. Please refer to my attachment for better understanding.

    Hi,
    The required output is the grid consists of 12 boxes. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you.

    Hi Andy,
    Can I have the horizontal lines visible? You can refer to my screen shot which I want them to appear (red lines). Thanks in advance.

    Secondary axes gridlines are not available in older versions of excel.

    Instead you can make use of the border of the data series.

    It helps to add your excel version to your profile, especially for charts and new solutions using new features.

    Re: Plotting Horizontal and Vertical Grid

    then you would need code to build that, or xy-scatter if using a chart.

    The complicated thing would be knowing how to divide up the space.
