How do i show count axis on log scale?

Question

Hi,

I'm fairly new to JMP so this question might seem very simple but I would appreciate some help.

I want to be able to plot a graph to show a continous variable on the x-axis. The y-axis will not be assigned a variable. I would just like it to show the count. I am able to do this on a linear scale no problem. But when i want to show the count axis on a log scale I'm having difficulty. I cannot get the count vaules to display on the y-axis.  Can someone please help?

See below for my plot so far...

Yeah I saw that alright. It works perfectly for linear scale, but not log scale though. Maybe I have to create a column in my data table for the vertical axis (e.g. 1 to 100,000 or something).

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

You can get count axis in JMP (from the red triangle next to your variable name, select Histogram Options>Count Axis), but I don't think you can turn the count axis to logarithmic.

It is not the horizontal axis i am concerned about. I'm happy with the way that is at the moment. It is the vertical axis that I'm having difficulty with. From my screenshot above you can see that i have this axis (y-axis) set to log scale. All i want to be able to see is the value of points on the axis.(e.g. 1, 100, 1000, 10000, etc). But i cannot display them.
