You probably need to switch to an "XY (Scatter)" chart. A "Line" chart
treats the x-axis values as 1,2,3,... which as dates would be 1Jan1900, 2Jan1900, ... Jerry Racheb wrote: When I create a line graph, the date comes up as 00 instead of 05. I have the correct cell formating (it's set to date format) and I've tried different date formats. |

If the dates were actually used as the X values, this wouldn't be an issue
for either the XY or Line chart types. Choose Source Data from the Chart menu, click on the Series tab, and select the series. Make sure the range of dates is entered in the Category Labels (or X Values) input box. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "Jerry W.
