How to exclude weekends/holidays from plotted time series

[Debbie424242]

Excel is inserting holidays and weekend days into my time series. I want to
stop it doing this and to use only my date series.

The x-axis has defaulted to a time-scale. To change the setting:

Select the chart
Choose Chart>Options
Select the Axes tab
For Category (X) axis, choose Category, click OK

Thanks - this enables me to plot the data without discontinuities, but I lose
my date formatting. The data I am using is imported from a newswire service,
so the trading dates get converted to the corresponding numbers when I change
the x-axis to category.

Debbie -

You can still use a number format. DOuble click the axis, select the Number tab, and
choose a date format you like.
