I am working on the Treasury Yield Curve. (Line Graph)

My data on the horizontal

1m, 3m, 6m, 1y ... 30y

The problem I am having is that the distance between these are spread out the exact same. (I want them to be scaled- shorter distance from the 1m to 3m and a longer distance between 10 and 30 year.

Is there a way to manually adjust the gridlines?? or similar to get the scale I am looking for.
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
You need to have meaningful values for the horizontal separations, and then you can create an X-Y scatter chart.... you can still specify a line for the series.

So, I switched to a Scatter and checked the horizontal axis format options once again...

Is there a custom format? (so, I can keep the months / years after each ie. 3 months) or should I just have the numbers .3 .6 1 2 3 5 7 10 20 30

I appreciate your help.
