Cannot read chart object (x,y) values when hovering mouse over chart using overlaid shapes

[fseipel]

p45cal: I think I can close this thread, I added the following code to

1.) Delete lower x-axis
2.) Set upper axis to NOT show a time, e.g. it was showing 2/10/19 3:50 PM but with that addition, it now shows only whole days 2/10/19 for example above each tick mark
3.) Round down date/timestamp of leftmost x-axis and round up rightmost x-axis point so that even with whole days for tick marks, no points are cut off
4.) Always show ~15 major tick marks regardless of duration of plot (since user can plot 1 week to up to years of data)

I only tried this on the fixed dataset, I will plug into dynamic retrieval to make sure tick mark code works -- it may need some tweaking to endpoints to be Roundup or Down + or minus the TickInterval parameter, until I see what it does I can't say for sure on that minor detail, but obviously it is very easy to implement.

The only other thing I'd like to do is move the upper/secondary x-axis back to bottom of plot after deleting lower/primary one, not sure how to accomplish that but it's not a huge big deal.

In Peltier's example (non-VBA), he only creates TWO pairs to plot stacked area bars/bands across plot, so I also don't think I needed to include any intermediate points to plot the area bars, as I have done, but it works so probably won't change that!

I can post the full version if it is of use to anybody.

Thanks again for your assistance.
