Customize the x-axis at a gantt chart

[#1]

     Hello Community,

at the attached file i tried to create a gantt-chart, but it doesn't work correctly.

i want that the x-axis should only show values like month&year.  so it should begin at 04/11, continue with 05/11, 06/11....,01/13.

I used the Static Step field at the Axes-Tab and wrote +30. But this don't deliver the right solution.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Aylin

in chart properties, remove "Forced 0" for the Expression Axis on the Axes tab and set the number format to "Date" with "Format Pattern" = MM/YY on the numbers tab.

Hi Johan,

thanks, i did this, but my x-axis now show only 05/2012 07/2012 09/2012 11/2012.

But i want that the months 06/2012, 08/2012 shown be, too and the x-axis should start at 04/2011.

For the expression axis, set "static min" to Date('04/11'), and "static step" to 30.

This might fall a bit out of sync for longer periods due to months not all being same length, but think its about as good as you can get.

edit:

seems date didnt work, so tried with 40640 as static min which looked better.

I wrote

=date(min(Start),'MM/YYYY')  at Static Min and Static Step = 30. I can't wirte 40640 because i want the minimum of the Start-Dimension.

If i make the chart bigger, then the date 04/11 is be shown.

Thanks for your help!
