If I plot any XY data set is there a method by which I can arbitrarily scale the X or Y axes by a function without having to create a new worksheet each time? For example, I would like to test the idea that my data fit the function y=x^2, so I would plot the data Y vs X^2, i.e. square the X axis (although in this example a simple log-log plot would suffice of course). It it rather cumbersome to have to create a new worksheet/column just to test this, especially when the 'scaling' function becomes more complicated or any offsets/constants needed to be found by trial and error.
