I tried it before. The problem is, that it needs a grid width and a lot of clicks to key in. My wish behind is, to have a very quick calculation or percent. I have 2 distances and must find out: How many percent is one from the other? It need not be accurate. So "about 30%" is a acceptable answer for me. I am not interested in the absolute value of them.
To use the measure, to calculate, to figure, this takes a lot of clicks and is a lot or chances to err. This icon-quid-grid would do it for me: Only a rectangle and three clicks! But how on earth I can make it persitant? The next click in my chart is it gone and I wish the developer would tell me why, ;-(
Beyond the Basics Grid drawing and Grid to Path
Inkscape.org
- draw a rectangle
- use the tool "Gitter erstellen oder bearbeiten" (means make or edit a grid)
to "grid" our rectangle
=> I see the wanted lines, but on next mouse click they are gone
if I do instead a mouse click (version 1.1.)
- extensions
- paths modify
- grid
- grid to path
=> nothing changes, the grid is gone next click
What can I do? I want my grid to stay with me.
May be I did something wrong.
But what?
What kind of grid would you like...
I upload the grafic another time as file
Maybe this?
thank you for the hint.

That tool is for making gradient meshes, not grids.
If you don't actually need a grid, but rather a method to measure percentage of y axis change, see the previous topic: https://inkscape.org/forums/questions/how-to-draw-and-figure-a-percentage-of-a-distance/#c10607.
