Default TROUBLE WITH GETTING DATE RANGE IN CHART/GRAPH

Hi there, I have two columns I want to put into a graph. The first column
is my posting date, which has approx 20 lines, beginning with Oct 1. The
next column is a dollar amount. I want the dates to go across the bottom of
the graph, and the dollar amount to go on the side. I've tried everything I
know to do, and cannot get the graph to look good. The dates jumble
together, or it will only do one date per graph. So, in short, A1:A20 is all
dates, Oct 1, Oct 2, and so on. Column B1:B20 are all dollar amount, 5.00,
-10.00, 35.50, etc.

I've tried chart wizard, etc. Grrrrr... Any help would be most
appreciated from you Excel Gods.

Default TROUBLE WITH GETTING DATE RANGE IN CHART/GRAPH

Hi,

Assuming you got the dates across the x-axis
Select the chart and choose Chart, Chart Options, click the Axis tab and
change the Category(X) axis to Category

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,
