Having trouble changing the y axis scale

I am working on a graph of Voltage vs Current. I have my y axis (current scale) set to log and i want to change the scale to the format 10e-2 (for example). Everytime I try to do this, the graph scale to 1e-1. I need the scale to be in the notaion 10e not 1e. Can anyone hlep with this?

Hi @hannahmcnamara,

 

You can have complete control over the format if you specify a custom format for the axis, like this:

 

 

Script to recreate graph:

Names default to here(1);

//Make some example data and specify a couple values to check results
dt = New Table( "Example Data",
 Add Rows( 1000 ),
 New Column( "Data",
  Numeric,
  "Continuous",
  Format( "Best", 12 ),
  Formula( Exp( Random Uniform( 1, 100 ) ) ),
  Set Selected
 )
);
dt:Data << Delete Formula;
dt:Data[1] = 1;
dt:Data[2] = 10;

//In graph builder choose the log scale and then specify a custom format
gb = dt << Graph Builder(
 Size( 822, 339 ),
 Show Control Panel( 0 ),
 Variables( X( :Data ) ),
 Elements( Points( X, Legend( 25 ) ) ),
 SendToReport(
  Dispatch(
   {},
   "Data",
   ScaleBox,
   {Scale( "Log" ), Format(
    "Custom",
    Formula( "10^" || Char( Log10( value ) ) ),
    12
   ), Min( 1 ), Max( 1e+45 ), Inc( 1 ), Minor Ticks( 0 )}
  )
 )
);

Thank you! This worked for me. I was wondering how you get the double line symbol before "Char"?
