[Solved] Use date format for the dates and use the xy scatter plot
I have the dates and weights for the times I was weighed at my doctor’s office. I would like to plot those so that the actual slopes are visualized.
I tried just putting the numbers in two columns and plotting them with a line plot but the days between the dates are irregular, sometimes 3 or more months elapse, sometimes only a week or two, but the dates on the graph are evenly spaced.
Is there a setting that will space the dates out to account for the number of days between dates, so I can see how well my diet is working?
x-y plot, not line plot
Did you change the type of the date column to date? It sounds like it’s used as a string, which means it is used as categorical data.
Yes, I think I did. I will make sure and try it again.
