If you're creating an XY-scatter chart, and your "months" are Text
(i.e,. "Jan","Feb","Mar",etc.) rather than XL dates, that's what you'll get, since XL doesn't know how to convert "Jan" to a date. You could make a line chart, instead, or change your dates to true dates (even if you format them to only show months). If that's not what's happening, what form are your months in? Are they true dates or Text?

Thanks for the reply. Its just a simply line chart (Sales per month). The months are just text (January, Febuary, etc) but they show up as "1" , "2" etc instead of "january", "febuary" etc.... I tried changing the axis format, tried pasting the source data to new cells but can't seem to get the text as the labels... Thanks Jeremy -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

When I create a simple line chart (upper left subtype) with this data (text in column A, numbers in column B): A B 1 Jan 10 2 Feb 20 3 Mar 30 4 Apr 40 I get a chart with Jan, Feb, Mar & Apr as the labels by default. Do you get something different? |

Dunno, then, that only happens to me when I use X-Y scatter chart, not
Line. In article , "jeremy via OfficeKB.com" wrote: Ya i get something different. The months appear as "1" "2" "3" instead of "jan" "feb" "mar".... |
