    Exclamation Don't know if its possible... Skipping a set of numbers on the vertical axis???

    I really don't know if this is possible. You know if you were making a graph and you start your vertical access scale at zero because there is one piece of data at like 1, but then the rest of the data doesnt start until 15? Your graph would be better if you could "leave out" 2-14 on the vertical access.

    In math, this gap of the scale is usually signified by a squiggley line cutting out that part of the axis, but I dont know the proper name for it. Any help would be appreciated. You think excel would have this option right? Im using 2007 if it makes a difference, and im making a line graph.
