Long, long ago in a land far away I was a mental health therapist in the Navy and have recently come full circle when I realized my background and knowledge in psychology can be directly applied to the art of visual communications.

Hello Dave,
What you’re seeing is the serial # of the date. This article explains about date serial #s: http://www.excel-examples.com/microsoft-excel-date-time-functions.htm
You can enter the dates in the Axis settings of the chart, but Excel will automatically change them to serial #s when you save the settings.
