I have a instrument collecting data every minutes for many days (20 days). I
would like to plot a line graph; however, I can not show the date and time in
the chart. I do not want to show all the dates and time but I would like to
show at least 4 to 8 dates and time per day. Any suggestion?

Would not a real numerical graph (Scatter Chart not Line Chart)
do the job? A quick and dirty try looks quite well to me. You
can place minor value tick marks every 6 hours, say.
