End of Month tic marks in Excel 2007
 

I am charting a time series with dates starting with 31.12.2007 ending at
31.12.2008 and market values in the second column. In format axis I choose 1
months as the Major unit. In Excel 2003, this would give me a tick mark at
the end of each month for each month in 2008.

In Excel2007 however it will give me a tick mark at 31.01.2008 and then the
02.02.2008, 02.03.2008 ... 02.11.2008 ie. the 2nd of each month thereafter.
Has anybody find a solution to this? It is quite annoying so any help is much
appreciated.

End of Month tic marks in Excel 2007
 

In A1 I entered 31/12/2008 (I use the non-USA date format)
In A2 I entered =A1+7 and copied this down to row 53 (last date 30/12/2009
In column B I used RANDBETWEEEN followed by Paste Special Values to add data
Inserted a Line chart (I am using XL 2007)
With no more ado, the x-axis labels a 31/12/2008, 31/1/2009, 28/2/2009
,....30/11/2009
Wonder why we differ?
Want to send me a file (remove TRUENORTH. from my email address)
best wishes
