    Axis Graph Labeling

    Hi,
    I have attached a dummy workbook to help explain my current issue. I want my horizontal axis to show both the Wk and Date. I have tried doing different things but can only get one or the other not both. Does anyone know how I can change it so both rows show up as my Horizontal axis?

    Thanks,
    John

    The hidden row is causing a problem.

    Build the required labels in a single row using formula.

    =D1&CHAR(10)&D3

    Then update chart series to use new single row.
    Cheers

    Andy,
    Thanks for the response but I am still have an issue. Sorry I left that row hidden the rows are:

    1 - Week
    2- Month
    3- Day

    I just want the graph to show the Wk and the Day for example I want the chart to state the following for Column D.


    Wk 1 - 1/3 This is exactly what I want the axis to say for the first point on the chart. Can I do this?

    Thanks,
    John

    Slight mod to formula to output date from row 3 correctly.

    =D1&CHAR(10)&TEXT(D3,"m/d")

    Thanks for your help. I can get it to work now but I think the text string is too long and it still isnt showing both on the chart axis text. Is there some format thing I have to change also?

    Did you turn of the -90 degree alignment and just have the labels horizontal?

    You will also need to set the tick interval to 1 instead of 4 if you want every axis label shown.
