As there is no data in weekends, so if they are removed from data axis, the chart looks more clearly. This article will help you to fix this issue. We will provide you one method and one trick to remove weekends from your chart.
Precondition:
Create a table with only two columns. In date column we only list weekdays.
Insert a chart based on the table.
You may notice that no matter in which type of chart, weekends are displayed in date axis improperly.
Method 1: Remove Weekends by Change Axis Type to Text Axis
Step 1: Right click on date axis, select Format Axis.
Step 2: In Format Axis window, under Axis Options, you may find that ‘Automatically select based on data’ is checked by default.
Check on Text axis. As the three options are mutually exclusive, so if Text axis is checked, the default checked option is unchecked.
