My problem is when i go to do the chart it is picking up the weekend days i.e 19/03/2011 and 20.03/2011 and 25/03/2011 and 26/03/2011 and therefore it is showing as blank on my chart. How can ignore this so it only looks at my chart?

Right click the chart and choose Chart Options. On the Axes tab check category and click OK.

If you have Excel 2007 change the Axis Type to Text.
