When I create a line graph, the date comes up as 00 instead of 05. I have the
correct cell formating (it's set to date format) and I've tried different
date formats.
You probably need to switch to an quot;XY (Scatter)quot; chart. A quot;Linequot; chart
treats the x-axis values as 1,2,3,... which as dates would be 1Jan1900,
2Jan1900, ...

for either the XY or Line chart types. Choose Source Data from the Chart
menu, click on the Series tab, and select the series. Make sure the range of
dates is entered in the Category Labels (or X Values) input box.
