How can I partially change the scale of the axis?

Hi,

I am wondering if I can change the scale of one of the axis on a chart in order to interpret better my data.
There is this packed part of my data which are concetrated on the y-axis and then some random data at random places on my chart. To be more specific the x-axis represents the contribution of each product to the total revenue and the y-axis represents the gross margin of each product.
Vast majority of the products contribute less than 1% of the total revenue and as a result I see plenty of them being packed on the y-axis of my scatter plot.
Ideally, I would like to rescale the x-axis in a way where the first half will be among 0% and 2% and the rest among 2% and 15%. This will help the reader of the chart to understand better the graph since the data will be more spread.
Please find attached the file.
Many thanks in advance.

Use Two chart positioned side by side
Adjust first chart X-Axis to go from 0-0.02 and second to go from 0.02-0.15
The remove Y Axis from second chart
set background to Transparent = None
Then adjust locations so they are next to each other
Voila

Merci beaucoup Hui.
Your help is priceless (for second consecutive time) ;-)
I was hoping that excel does it on its own but anyhow.
In Greece we call these kind of solutions ''alchemies'' coz we simply find a ''do it your self'' method since there is no projected solution.
Have a nice day!
