Hi,
I am trying to set up a line series with dates on the bottom axis.
Unfortunately, I am having to do this in Java using the ActiveX version through OLE codes, so it can be difficult to work out what is going on.

If there is a candle series in the chart it gives dates, but for a chart with only line series it gives value labels, I thought I could do the following:
1. Get the IAxes OLE automation object through ITChart.Axis (code 2)
2. Get the IAxisLabels automation through IAxis.Labels ( code 11)
3. Set the DateTimeFormat property using IAxisLabels.DateTimeFormat (code 6) to "dd/mm/yy"

It accepts the property change and returns 0, but the axis values still appear as values. (e.g. 39,215).

Any suggestions
Many thanks
Roger

Hi Roger,

Have you set the XValues as DateTime? For Candle series it is set by default, but not for line series.

To force it you should do the following:

Thanks Yeray,
That worked.
