Thanks again for your reply. It did not give me an option to re-sort the date
in the line chart. Maybe my only option is to create another set of data
which I both need to maintain. Any other suggestion? Thanks again.

Select the X axis and check on the Format dialog Axis Options
the setting of Axis type.

Perhaps setting it to Date Axis will give you the desired result.

Thank you for your reply. My data is actually sorted by date in decending
order (I want the lastest data on top) and I want my line chart to be
ascending from left to right (oldest to newest). My data will continue to
grow and I'm using Excel 2007. I assume your suggestion will require me to
maintain another set of data? Can i do it with just maintaining the
desending
data? Thank you for your help again.

Hi,

Use a different set of cells for your chart data.
You can use formula to reverse the order of the data.

Assuming chart data, labels and values, in A2:B6. Use this formula in E2

=INDEX($A$2:$B$6,ROW($6:$6)-ROW()+1,COLUMN()-COLUMN($E:$E)+1)

copy across and down range E2:F6

Cheers
Andy

My data is sorted descending and I want to keep it that way, how can I
sort
my chart into ascending without resorting my data to desending order?
Thx
