Infuriating Excel

I plot all of my Zopa investments in Excel.  This gives me a good hold on how they are performing.

But about a week or so ago, the date axis on the chart disappeared.  Strange because on my other computer the chart still works in the same way.

No matter what I do, I can’t seem to get them back. I get no message to say what is wrong either.

I hope I don’t write software like that!

I’ve done a bit of investigation and I’ve found that on the machine where the chart works, the version is Excel 2007 SP1 (12.0.6331.5000) and on the other machine that doesn’t it is Excel 2007 SP2 (12.0.6504.5001).  I’ve since found that Windows updated my Office and probably Excel on the 27th of October.
