Hi Folks

I have a chart showing a range of data:

Place(x) Value (y)
Site1 10
Site2 15
Site3 16
Site4 8
Site5 5
Site6 10
Site7 5
... ..

I'd like to be able to show all 'Place' values on the chart but 'hide' the names of the values. See the following example of what I'm trying to do:

20|
| **
15| ** **
| ** **
10| ** ** ** **
| ** ** ** ** **
5| ** ** ** ** ** ** **
| ** ** ** ** ** ** **
0|__**____**____**___**____**____**____**___
Site1 Site2 Site4 Site5 Site7

Here Site3 and Site6 have been hidden but their values are still shown. Is this possible?

Cheers!
 
Sorry folks, the graph SHOULD have looked more like this!!!

This might depend on your version, but in 8.0, if you go to the chart analyzer->format grid->group axis->labels, you can check "Use manual number of groups between labels" or check "Stagger labels"--but you do not have the option of conditionally formatting this to what you are showing above, which appears to suppress every third label. Maybe you do in higher versions, I don't know.
