    X axis unevenly divided

    Hello there!

    I'm having issue with my pivot chart.
    What I'm trying to do is to make the date spread out equally. As you can see from the screenshot, 12:03AM->11:57:37AM takes up roughly 1/5 of the space, while I would like it to take up around half the space. Also, would it be possible to change it to 12:00AM and end at 11:59PM or 12:00AM (next day?)

    I have uploaded the excel file I'm working on onto TinyUpload.com as the file is too big (~2Mb) for upload on this forum.

    Thank you!

    Two problems. Pivot charts don't do Time series axes. And if they did time series axes only go down as far as days.

    Have a read of this article.

    I am not at all familiar with Pivot Tables and Pivot Charts. From what I can gather, this is one of the limitations of Pivot Charts in Excel -- they cannot do certain chart types, XY scatter in particular (which would make short work of your problem here).

    Jon Peltier discusses the issue, and explains how to make a "regular chart" (not a pivot chart) from your Pivot data, which will hopefully allow you to format your chart as an XY scatter chart and get the effect you desire. http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/reg...-pivot-tables/
