    Horizontal date series not displaying correctly

    I have a CSV with lines like this :

    2015-03-18 17:05:00 , 9002, 1305.71296296

    I have a chart built from a selection of the data. The date column (#1) is excel-formatted to suit the input.

    However the time axis comes up as either a series of meaningless incremental data points or as a series of the same date/time i.e. 12:00:00 AM.

    Any ideas?

    Re: Horizontal date series not displaying correctly

    It is hard to tell without the actual Excel file. My first guess would be that Excel is not correctly identifying or interpreting the date/time format. Check the cells containing those values to see if they contain "text" or "number"? If apply a number format of "general" to the date/time cells, do you see a reasonable serial number or do you still see the date/time?

    2nd guess would be that Excel has not actually applied the date/time serial to the x axis. Go into the Select data dialog and see what Excel is using for the horizontal/category axis.
