Labelling Time axes in Excel

Read Original

This article addresses a common frustration with Excel's handling of time on graph axes. It explains that Excel stores times as fractions of a day (e.g., 1 = 24 hours) and provides a practical method for calculating and setting proper axis intervals (like 15-minute or 5-minute increments) for clear time-series visualizations.
