Adjust column width or decimal precision
Adjusting the column width has no effect on the width of columns in the graph; it only lets you view more or fewer
digits in a column.
With the default value of 2 decimals, the number 4 entered in a cell appears in the Graph Data window box as 4.00, and
the number 1.55823 entered in a cell displays as 1.56.
Adjust the width of columns
❖
Do one of the following:
• Click the Cell Style button
, and enter a value between 0 and 20 in the Column Width text box.
• Position the pointer at the edge of the column you want to adjust. The pointer changes to a double arrow
.
Then drag the handle to the desired position.
Adjust the decimal precision for cells
