Microsoft Office Excel Chart Creation Question

I have some very large numbers when creating charts.  It is simple to create months and numbers.  The issue is the numbers are shrinking rapidly and they end up merging.  I was told there was a way to create a chart that cuts out a segment of the data.  So I have roughly 30,000, now the numbers are in the 10s.  So I can't distinguish the tens.  I was told the middle could be cut out to have two different levels showing - one above and one below a line.

Hi,

Could you send a dummy?

Rgonzo,

    This is a very simple, easy example.  The subject is make believe.  The orange and the blue overlap so I can't tell what is going on.  I do not want to show two separate charts.

Thanks,

On way to solve it is to use a logarithmic scale

or you could use a Panel Chart

Sorry for the slow response.  This is great!  How did you do it?  The link shows that you can, but on a practical level how do you change to the logarithmic scale?
