I have a chart pulling data from a table with a date/time field being used as the x-axis.

The table has the date/time in the following format: 7/26/07 15:00

However, the chart won't displaying the hour field correctly. It'll display the following: 7/26/07 0:00

I've tried changing every chart option I can think off, but can't get the time field to display correctly. This is a problem because we have several entries each day which are time stamped, but their getting all lumped onto the same date/time on the chart.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Change from a line graph to an X/Y Scatter. The line graphs has a minimum scale of 1 day, but the x/y accepts fractional days.

Note that by formatting the data series you can achieve a graph which visually has a line, despite it being stored as an X/Y scatter, simply turn off the dots and turn on the lines in the Format Data series box.
