Sean,
Thanks for the response.
I need the labels to be as small as possible since I am trying to display a rolling 30-day X-Axis. If I make them text, then the Continuous X-Axis doesn't work and the users want that since that is what they had it Excel. Always an adventure trying go provide the same functionality. It would be really nice if a custom format could be used instead of just the ones in the drop down.

Have you tried selecting the Show Items with no data - when placing the Formatted as text column in the Axis
Great idea! I gave it a try and the X-Axis displays correctly but I can't change the X-Axis from Categorical to Continuous.
