I’m trying to create a XY (Scatter) chart from two simple columns of data. Column A is formatted as dates. The values I have input are being interpreted as dates and not text. When I change the cell formatting, the dates all reformat as expected.
Column A is supposed to be the X values for my chart. The chart’s range for X values defaulted to $Sheet1.$A$1:$A$11, which seems to be correct. But the X values on the chart have no obvious relationship to the data. They’re not even in a sensible order. The first three values in the cells are 12/24/13, 12/31/13, and 1/12/14. The first three values in the chart are 9/6/92, 4/2/57, and 10/27/04!
What the heck is going on?
