    Excel chart. Displaying y axis numbers different to actual plot values.

    I have a straightforward line chart with values from say 80 to 101 on the y axis.

    However I want the real 90.5 axis value to display as 100, and then BOTH the real 89 & 92 values (i.e. 90.5 plus and minus 1.5) to display as 90.

    Similarly I want both the 86 & 95 axis values (i.e. 90.5 plus and minus 4.5) to display as 75.
    ...etc

    In summary although the actual series line plots are plotted normally, I want the y axis to display something different. i.e. reading upwards the axis display will be 60, 75, 90, 100, 90, 75, 60

    Has anyone got any ideas?

    Usual TIA

    create fake axis scale using additional series plotted as xy-scatter.
