Hi,

I am using a backing file to update a report I have that uses graphs.

On the graph, the date along the horizontal axis is turning into numbers I.e. Jul-19 becomes 43647.

Along the vertical axis, £1.2 becomes 12000000.

In the backing file, I have used both Jul-19 and £1.2. I don't know why the formatting changes in the graph on my report as I have linked it directly to the correct cells which have been formatted correctly.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks
