I don't see any reason why these would matter.

I failed to mention that I'm using named ranges in the charts and the named
ranges use the offset function.

Category (X) axis labels:
=WaterQuality_KilnWTS_Data.xls!ScrollLabelsScrlngD AXChrt

Second category (X) axis labels:
=WaterQuality_KilnWTS_Data.xls!ScrollLabelsScrlngD AXChrt2

ScrollLabelsScrlngDAXChrt:
=OFFSET(All_Data!$AJ$5, ScrlngDAXChrt!$B$2,0,ScrlngDAXChrt!$B$3,1)

ScrollLabelsScrlngDAXChrt2:
=OFFSET(All_Data!$AI$5, ScrlngDAXChrt!$B$2,0,ScrlngDAXChrt!$B$3,1)

Sorry,
Raul

I'm using a custom type chart (Lines on 2 Axes) and I'm using two
different
ranges for the Category (X) axis labels and the Second category (X)
axis
labels in order to display some additional information on the chart.
When I
say two different ranges I mean the rows are the same, but the columns
are
different.

The problem I'm having is I want to use a custom format (dd-MMM-yy) to
display the dates, but when I do so the dates have format MMM-yy-dd.
The
only way I can get the dates to display accurately is to use the Date
format
with the * (either *03/14/01 or *March 14, 2001).

By the way, I don't have any trouble using the "dd-MMM-yy" format if
the
Category (X) axis labels and the Second category (X) axis labels refer
to
the
same range.

Does anyone have an explanation as to why I can't get the desired
format
for the dates when the Category (X) axis labels and the Second category
(X)
axis labels refer to different ranges (rows are the same, columns are
different)?

Thanks in advance,
Raul
