1996-2006 are not dates, they are years. If you tell a chart to use the date
1996, it thinks you mean the 1996th day in Excel's calendar system, which was 18 June 1905. You have at least three choices: 1. Use a category scale with years as X labels. 2. Use dates, like 1/1/1996, 1/1/1997, etc. 3. Use an XY chart with years as X values. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "tomeka" wrote in message ...
