combination chart x-axes
 
Hi,

How can I make sure that the categories for a column chart are equally
distributed along the whole length of the x axis to correspond to the scatter
chart series. The x-value of the scatter chart and the categories of the
column chart are dates, and I need them to be aligned. At the moment, I have
column chart series that are squashed up against the primary y axis! Any
help most welcome!

Put the columns onto a time scale axis. Select the chart, go to Chart menu
Chart Options Axes tab, and for category axis, choose the Date Scale
option. The dates of the XY series should line up on this axis.
