Date in data is changing to Jan in chart Excel 07
I have a row of dates: Dec-96, Dec-97, Dec 98, and so on up to Dec-08. The
date in the first cell is typed in as 12/15/96, but formatted to show Dec-96. The rest of the cells are a foumula: =cell+365, the cell value is relative. When we create a chart, they become Jan. I tried changing the first underlying date to 12/1/96, which worked sometimes but not everytime I created a chart, and it didn't work for the end user at all. I've never run into this before.

If the values are not recognized as dates, or if the chart doesn't know the
dates should be used as X values, then you might be looking at how counting numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) look in date format. 1 = 1 Jan 1900, 2 = 2 Jan 1900, etc. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "LisaK" wrote in message ...

Date in data is changing to Jan in chart Excel 07
Hi,
try this, suppose your first date is in A1 then in A2 enter the following formula: =EDATE(A1,12) This will return the same date a year (12 months) into the future. I don't see what adding 365 or better yet 365.25 doesn't work but... -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "LisaK" wrote: I have a row of dates: Dec-96, Dec-97, Dec 98, and so on up to Dec-08.
