    Date not showing correctly on X Axis.

    hi all, I'm new here but after spending a day trying to work this out I thought I would ask you all,

    basically I have date and time in one column, and temperature, wind speed, gusts, humidity, pressure in separate columns.

    I can plot the data up fine however the axis with the date/time on it just shows numbers as follows

    I'm unsure if I've formatted the columns correctly for date time, I'm by no means an expert on excel, but I needed to get this all plotted up this evening as I've got some work to do with the data for a piece of coursework.


    thanks I'm sure its quite an easy problem to fix, I just don't know how to do it!

    I have attached the excel workbook incase anyone fancies having a look at it

    thanks all

    Hi
    In your column A replace the point with colon.

    hiya ive tried that and it does this to the date, changes it to just a date instead of a time, and when i plot it, it only shows the date on the x axis
