Hi,

I'm having trouble figuring out why the x-axis for my line chart is using sequential order instead of the actual values.

In the screen shot, as you can see, I'm selecting the values 24,21,...12 but it's showing 1,2,3,...

Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as time
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+2 to format cells as time. (Shift 2 is the @ sign).
Line plots work that way. Perhaps you need an XY Scatter chart instead of a Line chart?

hm...I'll have to redo the chart but I guess that'll have to do. Thanks.
