    Next Date unique distance in X Axis instead of scale by date

    Hello Friends

    Please find the attached excel <Chart next Date unique distance.xlsx>

    Kindly refer the sheet `Chart1' , dates are plotted in scale values.

    But I want the next occurance should be uniform X axis distance instead automatic date scale.

    Note : In my excel software / file I could not find the version of excel file.

    thanks in advance

    Re: Next Date unique distance in X Axis instead of scale by date

    Hello Glenn

    If I right click on X Date (Date) and select `Format Axis' then the `Foramt Axis' dialog box is dispalyed, but in your file It have 3 radio buttion options like

    Axis Type: * Automatically select based on data, * Text axis, * Date axis

    But in my file that option is not displayed. So kindly little bit elloborate how to get these options.

    thanks

    The way I did it was:

    1) Change chart type to column;
    2) Select X-Axis and (right click) format axis;
    3) Axis tpe: text;
    4) Change chart type back to X-Y.
    5) For the purple, green & red datasets, in turn,
    6) Select, right click, format dataseries & plot on secondary axis.
    7) Done.

    Hello Glenn

    1) to 3) i did as per your info.
    If i did the 4) then again Axis type `text' in Column Chart is changed to `Date' in X-Y axis, again i tried it manually then the option is not there.

    please let me know.

    thanks

    Weird. You are using Excel 2007? I have it on another PC - which I'll check in a moment.

    OK. It looks like you have not changed the x-axis type to TEXT. To reiterate, select the x-axis, by clicking on any of the dates making up the x-azis. Right mouse click. Select Format axis. Then change axis type (half-way down dialogue box) to TEXT. Close.

    Hello Glenn

    Instead of X-Y Scatter i used the Line with Markers chart and works fine, refer the attached file.

    Thank you for your suggestions.
