    Charting 15 minute intervals, want them to be displayed as hour intervals on chart

    Hello, I have over 3,000 data points on a scatter plot, where each data point is data taken at a 15 minute interval. When I chart this data I would like for the horizontal axis to display these data points not as each 15 minute interval but more widespread one hour intervals. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

    Are you certain you are using a scatter chart and not a line chart? 3000 * 15 minutes is about 700 hours or 30 days, so I would expect Excel to default to something like 1 or 2 days for the major division. A line chart would be more likely to cram 3000 15 minute "categories".

    My first suggestion is to make absolutely certain you are using a scatter chart and not a line chart. Once you have made certain that your chart is an actual scatter chart, it should be as easy as formatting the x axis and manually setting the major division to 0.04167 (1/24th of a day which is 1 hour) to get divisions at 1 hour.
