I sort my incoming emails on the basis of times received. Don't you just
love receiving emails that have taken different times to travel round the
world.
Received Kent's at 2:41pm today - it was sent at 2:38 (according to my email
client)
His email was sent in reply to one from Robyn sent at 12:44 and received by
me at 3:37 - obviously received by him much earlier - after I had received
her next email sent at 3:14 and received by me at 3:17

> Excel stores dates as sequential serial numbers so that they can be used

> January 1, 2008 is serial number 39448 because it is 39,448 days after
> January 1, 1900.
>
> To change the scale, click on one of the dates on the x axis, select the
> scale tab and type in the appropriate serial number for the date that

>
> To find the serial number of a date, type it in a cell on your
> spreadsheet, format it as GENERAL. Then type this serial number into
> your scale.
>
> I've attached a copy of the file with a new scale.

> Good Luck!
