Technology Tip of the Week
Provided
by the MSCPA Information Technology Committee
Change Your Excel Chart's Number Formats
A number format may look fine on a worksheet, but the same
values may look awkward in an Excel chart. By default, charts use the same number
format as the worksheet's original data series. The good news is you do not
have to change the worksheet's formats in order to change the number formats
on the chart sheet.
