Named Range for X Axis Labels?

Hello,
I'm trying to generate a line chart using data from two
named ranges; "Date" and "Revenue"

In the Source Data dialog box, I can enter the following
in the Data Range field:

=Date,Revenue

and it accepts it. Then I go to the Series tab and
remove Date from the series window (so it won't be
graphed). Then I attempt to enter the following in the
Category (X) axis labels field:

=Date

I get an error that says "The formula you entered
contains an error." When I try it without the equal
sign, I get the word "Date" as the first X Axis label,
and then blank tick marks. I also tried renaming the
range "Date.column" in case it was confusing the range
name with the Date() worksheet function, but that didn't
help either.

Does anyone know if there is a way to specify a named
range in the X-Axis labels field?

Thanks very much.

Mike
