Origin Version : 6.0
Operating System: WIN2k

Hello,
I have the following problem:
I plottet a graph and its y-axis ranges from 10^-11 to 10^-1 (I set ist to a log-scale).
The values at the axis are displayed as the following:

0,1
0,01
1E-3
1E-4
...
1E-11

First of all I don#t know why origin automatically changes the display style of the values from decimal to "order-of-ten" style at the border of 0,01.
Moreover I don't want any of these display styles but the usal one like 10 or 10 (with minus signs).
Is it somehow possible to display values like this?
Best regards,
Selinger78

Okay, I got a step further to a solution:
I just changed the FORMAT under TICK LABELS to "Scientific:1E3".
Now in general I have to format I want to have but aomething strnage appeared on my graph:
Some Values are displayed in the style of

10

but 2 values are in the style of

1x10 !?

By "set decimal places" to either 0 or 1 I can display the "1x" in front of all values - but how to get rid of this "1x" ??
Regards,
Selinger78

This topic is not about the same problem I have (though it presents a possibility to create axis values via a new column), I just don't want a prefix in front of my numbers.

Here are my y-axis-values:

10^-3
1 x 10^-4
1 x 10^-5
10^-6
10^-7
10^-8
10^-9
10^-10
10^-11

I cannot understand why the second and the third entry are displayed different for the same settings. This must be a bug . does anybody know about this?

The topic explains how to make your tick labels look however you like. Same method can be used to remove unwanted prefixes.
