I have charts I do for trend data. In Excel 97 these charts worked
flawlessly and I could adjust the axis scales to make it all legible.
Since migrating to 2000 these charts no longer work as before. The x
axis usually has way to many markers and the text all runs together. I
can no longer go into the format axis dialog and change it the way I
want to, the option is grayed out. What has changed and how do I get
around it? A small sample of the date is below. The typical datasheet
hold 5900+ records and a chart might use 1400 or more records in the
chart.
