Bar Graph help

Crystal XI

Hi, i've created a bar graph in my report and the x axis is date by month, however it displays it as 01/2008 for say Jan 2008. How can i get it to show the full desciption?(i.e. Jan 2008, or January 2008) Would it require a formula in my report to force it to show full description, or is there anything in the chart wizard that i can change?

Cheers

If the bar chart was created with a Date Axis, then you could click on the x-axis label and go to the grid/scales options. There you should find an option for numeric formatting and the ability to change to Jan 2008.

If the bar chart is a basic bar char, then the label "01/2008" is being generated by Crystal and passed over to the chart as a string field (i.e. the chart engine does not know it is a DATE". In this case, the formatting clean-up would have to be done on the Crystal side (though I am too ignorant to know how.)
