logarithmic charting and excel 2007

Excel 2007 seems to have corrected some probs with previous versions e.g.,
you can now use a base other than 10 on a value axis.

Does anyone know what problems with logs and axes still remain? I expect to
work with logarithmic axes in the future and it would be helpful to know if
there are any undoable things with log scales, or has excel 2007 fixed them
all. If not, can anyone suggest any products that may fix any residual
problems. Thanks a lot.

What you might consider a problem I might not. And, vice versa. So, it
would all depend on what you considered a problem with "logs and axes?"
 
well, if one does a simple noticeboard search of log in excel charts one sees
a lot of people had queries/issues with excel 2003 and they relied on
'patch-type' solutions e.g., changing their data to suit the abilities of
excel charting. One obvious one was the complicated patches people had to do
to get around the fact that only bases of 10 were allowed in excel 2003. I
think that that particular problem has been fixed but have any other obvious
problems remained unfixed?
 
I think Tushar was asking you to describe problems which you consider
obvious. I have encountered a great number of charting problems in Excel
2007 which are painfully obvious to me, but which most users wouldn't ever
notice.
