I have a date field that I would like to put in my line graph as "Jan 28" or "Jan 28, 2008" but the graph assistant only seems to display the standard format 01/08/2008.

Is there a format option I'm missing in the graph assistant?

How about if you have a defined field that has the date in the format that you want. You could then select that one for the graph.

Try this Way...

This is not what Jason was asking for.
He wants a dateformat on the linegrapg axis and what you present is a piechart with a title in it.
