Nanoking,

One option is to reference your X-axis series with a formula that converts
the date to text but still leaves the "text" date looking like a date. For
example, assuming the data below starts in cell A1, convert column A to text
by using this formula:

=TEXT(A2,"mm/dd/yy")

col A col B col C
Orig. Date Text Date Data
01/01/04 01/01/04 5
01/02/04 01/02/04 4
01/03/04 01/03/04 5

In the formula view, column B looks like

=TEXT(A2,"mm/dd/yy")
=TEXT(A3,"mm/dd/yy")
=TEXT(A4,"mm/dd/yy")

Change your X-axis reference from column A to column B. The chart will read
the X-axis dates as text and will not leave gaps.

My data uses only week day dates. The chart that results from it is adding
weekend dates even though they don't appear in the range for the X axis. It
leaves gaps in the chart as a result.
