Microsoft Excel Project Timeline Template date range errors

[Jcahill605]

I'm working with the stock project timeline template in Excel.  For some reason when I put my dates in for start and end, they are not translating to the chart correctly.  For example, a milestone that is supposed to go from 9/19/22 to 9/30/22 is showing up in the chart as starting on the 9/24/22.  Also it is not showing September on the bottom of the chart similar to how October shows up.  How do I

Yes, dates don't come out right on the chart, nor do we see September as the title on the bottom Axis for the first month.

@Jcahill605 Can't really tell. Why don't you share your file. Attach it here or via Onedrive or similar.

File sent via messenger to you. Any luck opening it?

@Jcahill605 I did and answered you.

Something has messed up this template. The lines are inconsistently formatted, some of the dates are linked to todays date and more. I would go find another Gantt chart template, if I were you.
