The contents of the data table are defined by Excel with little, if
any, discretion given to the user.

You can simulate the effect of a custom data table. See

Using Excel 2007, I have a graph with the x-axis showing date values (Jan-09,
Apr-09, etc.). Beneath the plot area, I have a data table with the top row
showing the same date values. A work associate suggested I delete the values
on the x-axis and attach the data table to the bottom of the plot area.

I can't seem to find any info on how to do this.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
