Re: How do I change the y-axis on an Excel chart from numbers towords. This will plot everything as zero values, since they are all text. You can fake it using one of these approaches: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Y_CategoryAxis.html. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/DotPlot.html. - Jon.
First you must keep in mind that all ears of corn have an even number of rows, never an odd number. All average ears have between 12 and 20 rows. Still, it's difficult to tell at a glance whether an ear has 14, 16, 18, or 20 rows.
The way to control the portion is to choose a small ear of corn. Since a small ear of corn only has 85 calories, eating an entire cob won't ruin your diet. A small ear of boiled, yellow corn is about 5.5 to 6.5 inches long. A medium-sized ear of yellow corn goes up to 99 calories, while a large ear has 113 calories.
