Default category axis - date

hi community

can anybody kindly assist me in this..

i plotted a data for 5 days (workdays - Monday to Friday) and when I
selected the tabulated and plotted a chart (line chart)

the plotted chart displayed out the whole week for me (Monday - Sunday) as
well. How can I remove the two days (Saturday and Sunday) away from the
category axis

Hi,

You need to tell the chart to plot the axis as Category rather than Time
series.

For xl2007 select the axis, CTRL+1 to display Format dialog.
Select Axis Options
Axis Type: Text axis

Cheers
Andy

Hi,

It sounds like you are defining the category axis as a date. Instead change
the axis option to "Category". This is the 3rd step of the chart wizard, on
the Axis tab.
