Works 6: Negative Values Are Not Displayed on Chart's Vertical Axis

When you create a scatter chart with Microsoft Works Spreadsheet, and you then apply the Use logarithmic scale setting to the vertical axis, all data on the vertical axis may appear positive (or greater than zero).

This behavior can occur because charts that cross the zero boundary (and therefore contain both positive and negative values) cannot be plotted correctly on a logarithmic scale.

To work around this issue, do not use the logarithmic scale if your chart is composed of data that contains both negative and positive values.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
