Is there a way to show only specific values in x-axis of an excel chart?
In my problem, I have 0.1 0.2 0.5 1.0 on the x-axis and I want to plot my chart by showing only these values on the horizontal-axis. Is there anyway or any extension (like kutools) to make this happen in Excel? Or any other tool suggestion would be nice, like R, gnuplot, etc.
For example, in the following figure, you can see what I mean about the x-axis. Thanks in advance.

You can either:
1) Use a line chart, which treats the horizontal axis as categories (rather than quantities).
2) Use an XY/Scatter plot, with the default horizontal axis "turned off" and replaced with a "helper" series with vertical values of 0 and horizontal values as desired in your dataset (this is my preferred method).
