Here's one I haven't seen:

How do you, using VBA, create a fixed number of x-axis tick marks (say, 10), even if the data range varies?

I have the following, but it doesn't seem to work:

objChart.Axes(xlCategory).CategoryType = xlCategoryScale
objChart.Axes(xlCategory).FixedScale = 10
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
As I said, "Your problems seem to indicate you're trying to set a line chart X axis using scatter chart X axis commands."

Try using an XY Scatter chart. You can make one with the same formatting as a line chart, that is, with lines connecting data points. The difference is not in formatting of the data, but in treatment of X values by the X axis.
