Time scale X axis with Major Unit of month

[Guest]

Hello all. I am trying to graph a scatter XY chart with x Axis as date. I
want it to show as 1/1/2006, 2/1/ 2006, 3/1/2006, but I can't manage to make
it happen. Is there a way? BTW, I can't use category, because I need the time
scale. Thank you much!!

Hi,

the problem is, that you are not able to change the axis-type into
"time-axis".
You can add a non-visible column-chart-row (height 0) and after you CAN
change the axis-type into "time-axis".
Then you can format the axis as a time-axis.

Did this solve your problem?

Greetings,
Holger.

Thank you for your reply Holger. I can't do that. I need the X axis to be
real time scale with the first day of each month, because I have another time
series data values 0 needs to be plotted on the X axis base on date. Thanks.

You can do exactly what you want by using a dummy x axis series. I have a
number of dummy axis series examples on my site.

Take a look at this page to get some ideas.
