Change format when Grouping Dates on Chart

D

DLG

I have a date field that contains individual days. If I group theses days
into 7 to get a week, a range is displayed on the x-axis, i.e. 5/10-2005 -
5/17/2005. Is there any way to just have the end of the range displayed,
i.e., 5/17/2005. I don't need to see the start and end of every week because
it takes up a lot of space on the bottom of the chart and makes the labels
very cluttered.
I'm using OWC 2003 in Sharepoint

TIA
Dean

According to the timescaling algorithm, the chart will plot the first item
in the group. This feature is not customizable. One option you have, is to
use custom drawing to catch the items as they are being rendered. Then, you
can replace them with your own values. It's a lot of work for functionality
that may or may not be worth it. If you require an indepth probe of the
algorithm, please consult the black book.

Althernatively, you may just want to hide some of the labels or expand the
width of the chart. There are many approaches to fixing this eye sore.
