Hi,

I believe that is a limitation of the C libraries that manage the dates calculations.

You should consider to create a transformed column in a copy of your Excel file having the dates summed a suitable value (for example 1000 years), make that column the time series one and the original dates as labels (converted to text).

Hope this would help,

Hélio
