Default Graph Assistance


Hello All

I need some help.

I have created a graph to track how my measurements(waist, Arms, Chest, Neck) show via graph,

I started collecting the data as of the 26th Jan and will be updating measurements ever week. So the next day is 2/2/14.

The data field shows this in order however the graph is showing 2/2/14 data before 26/1/14

any ideas. Hope this makes sense.

Hi
Your dates are probably text looking like dates, not real dates.
One way to change this would be to select the range with dates, go to Data -Text to columns - Next - Next and change the Date format to DMY - Then finish
If it does not work, try other variations in the dropdown box.
Then refresh your data

The dates in your table after 04/05/2014 are not correct, they revert back to April.
I corrected the table to get weekly dates and reselected data for your last graph, the problem with 26/01 stayed , I have no idea why

OTH recreating the "Measurements" graph from scratch solved the problem
