With Crystal Ball, you can focus on a particular range of the forecast results by changing axis settings in the Chart Preferences dialog. For instructions, see Customizing Chart Axes and Axis Labels.
To define the display range:
In a forecast chart, select Chart Preferences, then Axis, then Scale, and then Type.
Auto — Crystal Ball uses a default display range of 2.6 standard deviations from the mean, which includes about 99% of the forecast values. (See Standard Deviation, following.)
Fixed — Sets the display range end points manually so you can focus on particular value ranges. For example, you can focus on positive values only to look at the profit for a profit/loss forecast.
Standard Deviation — Sets the display range end points in terms of standard deviations; defines the number of standard deviations worth of value to display on each side of the mean and centers values around the mean. If you choose to set the display range in terms of standard deviations, you can change the display range to 1 standard deviation from the mean to look at approximately 68% of the forecast values.
Percentile — Sets the display range end points in terms of percentiles.
By default, the x-axis value numbers are automatically adjusted to round numbers to make the forecasts easier to read. The Axis chart preference settings include Round Display Range, which constrains the display range to round numbers. You can clear this setting to display actual, unrounded numbers.
Other chart customizations are available to help you interpret the results of the simulation by viewing the data in different ways (Setting Chart Preferences).
Also see Setting Preferences with Shortcut Keys for ways to change the appearance of charts without using menu commands.
