Divine Excel Chart Date Axis
On your chart double click on the values of your x-axis and it will open up a new window - Format axis.
Excel chart date axis. To remove these dates change the axis type from Date axis to Text axis. The normal approach for time units of less than a day is to use a Scatter chart and set the Axis to display units of the relevant fraction of a day eg for hours 124 or 004166667 for minutes 13600. For example there is a chart as below screen shot shown and to change the date format in axis of normal chart in Excel you can do as follows.
The horizontal axis in a line chart is a category axis in this case a date-scale axis. When you create a chart using valid dates on a horizontal axis Excel automatically sets the axis type to date. This is how to resolve it.
Date Axis in Excel Chart is wrong- the issue As shown below the data clearly shows month end dates 31 Jan 2016 but the chart is showing the beginning of the month 1st Jan 2016 on the horizontal axis of the chart. This means that each data point will be plotted on the x-axis based on linear time rather than equal distance from each other. Select the data range.
Excel also shows the dates between 8242018 and 912018. Create a chart with date and time on X axis correctly To display the date and time correctly you only need to change an option in the Format Axis dialog. But in some cases I end up making charts that show data from multiple years.
However you may have time to have the date and time for X-axis. The horizontal axis in a bar chart is a value axis. Somehow I gather Excels chart system is interpreting it all as strings not dates.
In the Format Axis dialog select Number. When creating charts it is common to have category as the X-axis. Y axis is the different dates from col A X axis is times from col B.
