Right click the axis, choose Format. Find where there are the three choices
for axis type: Automatic, Text, and Date. Change to Text and Excel will no
longer try to make a complete set of dates.

I am using Excel 2007 and have a chart of dates and accompanying data.
Excel
is being very nice and adding in all the missing dates for me. I do not
want
it to do this. How can I tell Excel to just plot the data that it sees
thankyouverymuch?

Basically I am plotting a burndown chart and am excluding weekends because
no work is done at that time. Excel adds in the weekend dates.
