Description Damon Brodie 2002-02-06 16:51:08 UTC 
Packages:

rpm -qa | grep Guppi
Guppi-0.40.3-ximian.1
[damon@nixbox spinners]# rpm -qa | grep gnumeric
gnumeric-1.0.4-0.ximian.1


In gnumeric, create a column and type

Jan-02
Feb-02

And then format these cells as "mmm-yy"

Create another column with values like 

1
2

Now create a graph (bar or line doesn't matter) and choose the dates for
the category labels and then draw the graph.

Instead of seeing the dates in the graph I see "37300     37350"

I think this is a guppi bug since gnumeric knows these values are dates but
this may be an incorrect assumption on my part.
Comment 1 Jody Goldberg 2002-02-08 02:28:12 UTC 
This is a bug in gnumeric.  I was only recognizing the standard date formats as
being dates.  As a result guppi was not being notified that this was a date.
It will be fixed as part of the format engine rewrite.

Unrelated to the new report which is an entirely different code base.

Won't be fixed because guppi is unmaintained, and is no longer used.
