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.
That's the weird part; the corn plants are 10 inches apart, in rows three feet apart, forming block plantings of about 12' x 25'. The stalks are five feet tall and fully plumed out with pollen producing tassels. The healthy green stalks look like sugar cane, not one ear of corn on any stalk or of any size. No thumb-size, no traces of an ear of corn at any length. Straight stalk with a tassel on top. Like Bookmark September 3, 2009 at 4:17PM.
