The x axis on the table is not showing the x-values I in my data.
I want the corresponding date for each point directly below it.
Excel (2007) has just added random dates.
Any idea how I can get the correct dates to be shown?
Under your chart tools, go "Layout -> Data Labels" and choose the one you're happy with. The option's right up there with your chart title, Axis, Legend options etc.

I'm new to Power BI & am sure there's a simple answer, like a setting or something...
Need to display all fields stacked in x-axis at once, instead of having to drill down through any layers. In excel pivot table it does this automatically (please click for pic)
But I'm struggling to figure this out in Power BI, seems like only date hierarchies display neatly, how can I show tidy hierarchies on the x-axis with text fields? (please click for pic)
Thanks very much in advance for your help!

I have a chart that I am using to keep track of weekly data. It is a Pivot table with an attached graph. Every week when I refresh the data the chart moves back to the following picture.
Graph
With the Data labels shoved inside of the bottom of the chart. I Spend a bit of time every week moving all of them back down. I would like to anchor them with the upper right corner attaching to the bottom axis. The only placement option in the Pivot chart are Center, Inside End, Inside Base, Outside end. I am using inside base to get the picture I mentioned.
Here is what I change it to each week. As you can see I drag all of them down individually and try to get them to line up as best as I can by hand. But they are never perfect.
I have finally found my problem, The issue was I was using Data Labels and not axis labels.
If you are having this problem go Pivotchart tools > Design > Add chart Element > Axes > Primary Horizontal.
I'm trying to link a chart to another workbook in excel 2010. Copy-Paste does the trick, except for the dates on the horizontal axis. They keep showing as numbers (42515), but not in date format. I tried several things: change Axis type, convert source data to text (TEXT(42515; "dd/mm/yyyy")...
It's necessary that the link between the two charts stays, because I use it to automatically update the chart.
Anyone any suggestions?
The Solution:
Right click on the Chart -> Format Axis -> Number -> Date
Here I have a chart
I did a right-click -> "Add labels" , and it read them from my a(H/C) row. Basically, I want it to read label values from the CO2/CH4 row instead, so they would be 0,0.5,1,2,5,10 instead. Of course, I want the chart itself to remain the same, so, the x values of dots are in row "b(O/C)", their y values are in "a(H/C)" row, and their respective labels are read from "CO2/CH4". Can it be done automatically and how (preferrably, without scripting magic)? Rewriting them manually is a pain, really.
You will get the desired results by following the steps below:
Step 1: Click on the Chart
Step 2: Select the Design Tab in Ribbon Bar (Note: “Design Tab” appears only when the Chart is selected)
Step 3: Click on “Select Data” feature in the Design Tab as shown in Screen Shot 1
Step 4: Click on Edit Button as shown in Screen Shot 2
Step 5: Change the Series Name Rage and the data range in “Series Y Values:” as highlighted in Screen shot 3
What about adding the different points as different series and using the series names as labels (instead of the y-values) ?
If you need the "line" between the points (or if you need to add a trendline...), keep the serie you already have (with every point) without labels
Excel 2013 added the capability to use text from worksheet cells as data point labels. If you don't have 2013 (your screen shot looks like 2010), or even if you do, you can use Rob Bovey's free Chart Labeler add-in
How do I get the format of the legend entries in an Excel 2013 chart to match the formatting of the cell the series name is from? My series title needs to be a mix of italics, subscripts, etc, but I don't know how to customize this label at all. I either need the format to carry over from the source cell or just to be able to override the legend entry.
Maybe not ideal, but it works. Just delete the legend label from your data source and then insert -> shape -> text box in its place that is formatted to your liking. Example image attached of what I think you wanted.
