    Large data set gives unexplained outlier

    On this sheet, there is a data point on "March 6th 2017" that is clearly not in the X column, and is biasing the X-axis badly. Why is it there, and how do I get rid of it? Or find it, even (since the most recent date is 29 October 2015).

    I understand the graph looks strange. This is because there are duplicate date values, but formula values in the adjacent column, so it is read as "zero".

    Hi Jose,

    Put "Date" in A1 and "Value" in B1 and then sort by column A.

    Your 2017 dates will pop to the end. See the attached.
