SITUATION: I've never used Exel for chart-creation. This question
probably makes that all too obvious.

Using Exel 2002's chart wizard, I was able to generate a time-series
chart which displayed my data. However, on the resulting chart, the Y
Axis displayed the years generically (1-30). I wanted this axis to
display the years specific to the dates involved (e.g. 1920-1947).

I right-clicked on the Y Axis and choose <Format Axis, followed by
the Scale Tab. There I set "Minimum:" to the starting data of my time
series, "Maximum:" to the ending date. All other values were kept the
same. I then clicked OK. The chart was now formated just the way I
wanted it.

However...

PROBLEM: The data plot line on the newly-formated chart is invisible
-- it "disappeared".

QUESTION: How do I get the chart to display **both** the time-series
data on the Y-Axis by date and the resulting data plot?

COMPLAINT: This **really** shouldn't be this
difficult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
