Default Time Series Question

I have a line graph depicting product tests over a 2 week period.

The Y axis are the results ranging from -10 to +10. The X axis is
timescale. The problem I have is that the timescale only allows days,
months and years. What I actually need is the x axis to breakdown into
hours as multiple tests take place each hour.

Is there any way that such can be accomplished in Excel?

Regards
Daz

Use an XY chart, not what is confusing called a line chart. You can then
set the X axis increment in Excel's time format.

Not true!

Format axis/ Scale/ Insert 02:00 as the major axis unit, and 2 hours is what
you'll get.
