I suspect you want to plot an XY Scatter chart. The dates need to be in a
numeric format to do that.

Probably a simple solution....and staring me in the face.

I have a table containing dates and values. The dates may progress but
the
day interval is variable depending when the values were recorded.

I need to plot the values with the dates on the x axis. So far I can only
get the graph to treat each date as an event, thus the true date interval
is
not reflected. This distorts the graph.

How does one configure Excel to plot against a calendar interval on the x
axis?

Many thanks
