Default Line Chart x - axis display date and quarter and automatically upd

Hi I want have my excel line charts updating automatically when new data is
added every quarter. I also want the x €“ axis display as e.g. 2008Q1 or Q1
dec €“ 2008. I have at the moment mmm-yyyy, so it is in date formula so it
updates automatically, however when a second axis e.g. Q1 is underneath it
either wont allow me to update automatically or there will be a large amount
of blank space representing where I have chosen the source data to go to. So
is it possible to have two x €“axis one date and one text or to have one x €“
axis displaying date and text on charts that will automatically update? It
seems I can only have one or the other: date only and automatic update or no
automatic and display as I want

Thank you in advance

Simplified version provided below of layout. (Charts won't upload)

All Persons (Per Quarter) Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3
Dec-2005 Mar-2006 Jun-2006 Sep-2006 Dec-2007 Mar-2007 Jun-2007
