SPSS 20 y-axis scaling
Locked
 
|
Hi,
I have a problem with SPSS 20 when I try to change the value labels displayed on the y-axis in the chart editor. I have several values between 1 and 8 (e.g. 2.07), all of which are displayed on the y-axis. Instead, I would like to display only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 as whole numbers - none of which are displayed at the moment. I can do this without a problem for the x-axis (Properties -> Scale tab -> Range: Minimum/Maximum/Major Increment/Origin), but the "Scale" tab is missing in the Properties box for the y-axis. I have no idea why this is the case, does anyone know? Or any alternative ways to achieve what I am tryin to do? Sorry for the basic question, any answers would really be appreciated. Thanks Kate |

To begin with you have to describe what your plot consists of and how you
got your graph. Did you use syntax or go through the user interface? -----Original Message----- From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of kate Sent: Saturday, November 24, 2012 11:57 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: SPSS 20 y-axis scaling Hi, I have a problem with SPSS 20 when I try to change the value labels displayed on the y-axis in the chart editor.

Which UI? Did you specify any aggregation? Did you use 1 variable for Y and 1 variable for X. If you look at your output, the notes table will provide the syntax generated. Double click and copy the info to the clipboard. From: Kate Kate [mailto:[hidden email]] My plot consists of values between 1 and 8 (y-axis), plotted against 60 groups listed on the x-axis. I went throught the user interface.

Hi Kate,
One possibility may be that your y-axis variable is defined as ordinal/nominal, so the chart is recognising it as a categorical variable and hence displaying each unique value separately. If this is the case, change its measurement type to scale and rerun. Hope this might help. Cheers, Kylie. -----Original Message----- From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of ViAnn Beadle Sent: Sunday, 25 November 2012 8:21 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: SPSS 20 y-axis scaling To begin with you have to describe what your plot consists of and how you got your graph.
