Default In EXCEL, how do I make date-time the x-axis of a plot??????

Under Format/Cells/Date (or Time) I can pick a Type as 3/14/01 1:30 PM. And
entering that within a cell works fine. But if I try to use that column as
the x-axis of a graph it only supports the date. For example a value for a
reading at 3/14/01 1:30 PM and one given for 3/14/01 2:30 PM will appear as
two events both given as 3/14/01. The date part is the x-axis, but the time
part is simply lost.

How can I make both date and time be on the x-axis, so two events at
different times on the same day will show up separately?

You have to use an XY chart to get thee fractional days (i.e., the times) to
appear.
