Graphic scale / extreme values

Swimmerseb -

Hello,

In a nutshell, I have a histogram with two extreme values, 1550 and 1500, and the rest of the values are between 0 and 20. I would like to interrupt the scale of the vertical axis at 25, so that there is a gap, and then have it continue from 1490 to 1600.

The goal is to see the differences between the small values without removing the extremes from the display.
I should mention that the logarithmic scale does not interest me, and I need to keep the untransformed values.

Is this possible in Excel 2007? If anyone has solutions using other software (Illustrator, etc.), I am also interested!

A big thank you to anyone who has an answer to the question.

Hello Michel,

Thank you very much for your information, it's exactly what I wanted to do!

I admit that the solution is a bit convoluted to implement on a large number of graphs, but it seems to be the only clean and effective one!

Thanks again and have a great day!
