Details

The Logarithmic option lets you specify that you want to display values as logarithms. This is useful when you are working with a wide range of values so that the graph can display the values on a more manageable scale. For example, the following image shows a graph whose values on the scale are displayed using the Number format option when the Logarithmic check box is cleared.

If you were to select the Logarithmic check box, the same graph would appear as shown in the following image.
