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.
Answer Wiki. A rough number would be around 700 for a good ear of corn for us. Usually there are 14-18 rows of kernals and they range in length from 36-44. This is for good yielding corn that was not stressed by weather or pests, which would reduce these numbers.
