    using date & time in the x axis of a graph

    i have a graph that uses date in its X axis. i want the axis to display date & time. i changed the source data cells' formatting to date & time, but the graph remains date only.
    i tried defining the graph's format as date & time as well (thus canceling 'link to data'), but it's displayed as 00:00, no matter what time is displayed in the source data cell.
    also, whatever i do, two X values which have the same date (but not the same time) always show in the graph as having the same date & time.
    ideas anybody?
    thanks in advanced.

    Hi,

    format the cells from which hte category axis is drawn to Time, and the category access to Custom, date & hh:mm

    create a helper column and convert date to text with

    =text(A1,"dd mmm yy hh:mm)

    this plots them all but spaced equally rather than by date difference
