graphing dates
I'm trying to graph these dates;
9/1 9/5 9/6 But when I do this, 9/2, 9/3, and 9/4 are showing up on the chart. I don't have data for these dates so I don't want to include them. Why is it automatically entering?? |

graphing dates
Hi,
The chart wizard is trying to be helpful by assuming you want a time series axis for your dates. If you don't and you actually want just categories then right click the chart and pick chart options... On the axis tab set the scale to be category rather than automatic.
