You can run the following macros to set the limits on the x-axis. This kind of x-axis is based on a count, i.e. just because the first column is labeled some number, it is still 1 on the axis scale. Ex. If you want to plot columns 5 through 36, set 5 as the x-axis minimum, and 36 as the x-axis maximum.
the following excel restrictions per worksheet apply: 1  excel 2003: can handle 65k rows. 2  excel 2007 (and later): can handle 1M rows.
Since Excel 2007 (Windows) and Excel 2008 (Mac), the number of rows in a .xlsx, .xlsm or .xlsb worksheet is fixed at 1,048,576. That is 2^20. Excel only stores the data and formatting actually used, so there is no penalty for having such a large number of rows in every worksheet. The file format isn't being changed for Excel 2016, so the same maximum number of rows still applies.
