Hi there! I'd be happy to help you adjust the X-axis scale to display months/days or hours in your Excel graph.
To display the X-axis in months/days or hours, you will need to format the axis as a date or time axis. Here are the steps to do so:
Once you have formatted the X-axis as a date or time axis, you should be able to adjust the scale to display months/days or hours. To do so, follow these steps:
That's it! Your X-axis should now be displaying months/days or hours, depending on your formatting choices. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Hi,
You need to force the axis to be Time Series. Right click chart and pick Chart Options. On the Axis tab change the scale type from Automatic to Time Series.

Cheers Andy- is there any way of going down to hourly level of detail- the
drop downs only seem to go down to daily? "Andy Pope" wrote: Hi, You need to force the axis to be Time Series. Right click chart and pick Chart Options.

For Hours you would need to use the xy-scatter chart.
Although the scale has Min and Max values you can enter dates and times. The values will then be converted to serial date values for you. So for example you could enter this values to get 12 hour intervals through the days in January. The values in brackets are what the chart converts them to when you re check the scale values. Min: 1/1/2007 (39083) Max: 31/1/2007 (39113) Major: 12:00 (0.5) Cheers Andy kippers wrote: Cheers Andy- is there any way of going down to hourly level of detail- the drop downs only seem to go down to daily?
