Sounds like Excel doesn't recognize your category labels as numerical
dates. In this case, it treats the categories as 1, 2, 3, etc, and Excel
thinks day 1 is 1/1/1900.
Remove the horizontal alignment from the cells with dates. Are they all
right aligned? Any which are not are text. To convert them to numerical
dates, assuming they are otherwise recognizable to Excel, format the
cells as dates (Format cells > Number tab, select something from the
Date category), and if that doesn't do it, select and copy a blank cell,
select the nonnumeric cells, and use Paste Special from the Edit menu,
and choose the Value and Operation - Add options, and press OK.
