Excel 2013 chart - setting time intervals in vertical axis
0
I have time (mm:ss) in the vertical axis of a bar chart.
I want to set the following parameters:
- min - 0
- max - 12:00
- major ticks: every 2:00 min (0, 2:00, 4:00, etc.)
- minor ticks: every 0.5 min (0:30, 1:30, 2:30, etc.)
I can't figure out how to do this, and what is the rationale for it. I read that Excel uses a day for these parameters, but I just don't know how to apply it to my case.

You should just divide all your time values by 24 hours
(which is 1440 minutes).
So, for example, your max value should be entered as 0.008333 (12÷1440).

I tried your suggestion, but it doesn't seem right. With a value of 0.52 for the max, I get 12:15, which is about right, but I would like it to be 12:00.

@user3315563: Huh? Are you talking about 12 hours or 12 minutes? I interpreted it as 12 minutes, since you said times were mm:ss. If you want 12 hours, where did you get the value of 0.52? 12:00 ÷ 24:00 = 0.5000000000.

Nov 24 '18 at 6:22
That's correct, I want 12 minutes. So maybe my time format is incorrect?

Nov 24 '18 at 7:22
Well, I don't know what your situation is. Did you try 0.008333? What results are you getting?

I had a mistake with the time format in my table. I fixed it and now it as wanted!
