Sensible date formatting on X-axis of XY-scatter charts
If the X-axis of an XY-scatter chart is DATES, then it would be great to have the option to select the x-axis category labels to be spaced by (eg) months, years, etc like you can do for a line-chart. The advantage of being able to use an XY-scatter chart with this proposed functionality is that not all plotted series have to share the same x-series. Thank you!

Thank you your suggestion regarding x-axis date formatting of scatter charts. This suggestion has merit, however, we don’t expect to devote time to this it in the near future. We will continue to track votes and comments here.
Thank you again,

How on earth is it possible that excel does not already have this function??

This would extend the nice date axis formatting of a line chart to the overall more flexible XY Scatter type.
