I have 2 columns with values, say A and B which values I want to use as X and Y axes values correspondingly.

The values are the following:

A: 412 684 944 2009 9601

B: 7813,4 10377,6 11138,8 16216 606090

When I do it with help of wizard: Insert->2D chart->Right Mouse Click->Select Data after the data is selected it shows me the following chart that is not unfortunately scaled by X axis: enter image description here

Is there some way how I can automatically scale the X axis?

In order to do that, you must select the chart type as Scatter > Scatter with Straight Lines and Markers. Then your graph becomes this:

The very first solution is to change the axis type: Double click on the axis->Axis options->Axis Type: Date Axis.

  • Well, how does Excel interpret these numbers when you format them as date?: 412, 684, 944, 2009, 9601.

  • Nobody prohibits Excel to interpret the numbers as milliseconds
