    Question Excel 2010 - how to set format for horizontal axel in a diagram?

    Please look at the attached XLSX file. Sheet1 contains a diagram with horizontal axel's format set to datatime. But it shows different values if to compare them with the original ones at EXCEL_DUMP worksheet. How I'm supposed to set the correct format on the diagram?

    Firstly none of the series in the chart are using the data in 'EXCEL DUMP_000021'!$A$2:$A$1303 as the x values. There for the chart defaults to using a simple numeric count. And because you have used a date format this displays dates from 01/Jan/1900.

    Once you have corrected the data series to reference the data in column A you will need to change the chart to an xy-scatter rather than Line chart in order to see more than a single point, as your data has time as well as date value.
    Cheers
