I see. I wouldn't bring my computer out in the boat either. All I was trying to do was help the OP with his question. Just trying to help him accomplish what he would like to do. Never gave a thought to the unfortunate circumstance of computers going swimming. smile

If only it were. The function underlying the chart is a power function. It is not linear.

Not saying you can't do that in a pinch, but it will almost always be a "kind of artsy", incorrect, mathematically wrong way to do it.
