Charting quarterly data in XL2000
Just curious if there is a way to make a quarterly bar
chart as a time-scale and not have gaps between the bars. I would prefer not to use a category axis I am also trying to avoid turning the numbers into monthly data. If not, I think it would be a good addition |

Charting quarterly data in XL2000
Well, a time scale, by definition, will have to account for all the
time between the ends of the quarters. So, if you don't want a category axis (I have no idea why not) and don't want a gap between the bars, I believe you might be stuck. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta, MS MVP -- Excel www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says...

Charting quarterly data in XL2000
Hi and thanks for the reply. The problem with a category
axis is that it is not user friendly to other employees whom have limited charting experience and organizing an XL lesson is out of the question. Rolling date ranges are more difficult for the 1000+ charts I update and manage 80% of which are time-scale. Yes, "time scale, by definition, will have to account for all the time between the ends of the quarters" but your developers had to define each unit of time (min, hr, day, month, year). XL plots annual data where somehow all the intermittent data (12M) is accounted for. It would certainly be a nice addition. :-) Thanks -----Original Message----- Well, a time scale, by definition, will have to account for all the time between the ends of the quarters.
