Default Line graph question

Hi,

If your dates are entered in the spreadsheet as dates then you may have
problems - Excel stores dates as numbers so today is 39594 and 0 would be
January 0, 1900. This would tend to spread the x-axis out quite a ways. If
your dates are not entered as dates then make the first entry 0,0 - that is
put another entry in the data area whose date value is 0 and whose value is
0. There are potential problems with this approach - each entry will be
spaced equidistant apart on the x-axis, but that may work for you.

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire
