# Logarithmic axes

You can switch the X and Y axes on a scatter plot between **linear and logarithmic scales** (log axes) using the controls shown here.

Not seeing the control?These controls are hidden by default. Adjust your settings to include the more advanced controls [as described here](/v1/docs/customizing-which-controls-are-shown).

The data values in the column(s) shown must be suitable for logarithmic conversion, for example it must:

- Not include the value zero
- Not have both positive and negative values

Either of these mean that the axis cannot be shown as a logarithmic axis.
