charting biweekly headcount - chart is plotting everyday
 
hello - I am trying to plot our biweekly headcount numbers however on the x
asis the columns for each biweekly date are so thin, as I looked closer at
the x axis it appears to be using the "day" scale so each point is every day
which I don't know how to unspecify. I just want to chart the biweekly
numbers.

For example in my columns are

Week Headcount
1/8/05 50
1/15/05 52

where on the x axis it is listing 1/8, 1/9, 1/10 etc. how do I correct this
so it is just reading my data and not interpretting anything else?

Select the chart. Select Chart | Chart Options... | Axes tab. In the
'Primary axis' section, set the 'Category (X) axis' to 'Category'.
