Apply layouts to timeline charts

Layouts can be applied to timeline charts. Applying a layout rearranges your chart so that patterns might be revealed over a time period.

Layouts for timeline charts only affect items that contain date and time information. To apply one, click the Arrange tab, and then in the Timeline Layouts group, click the layout.

Note:

These layouts are not suitable for charts that use large entity representations such as boxes (which are often used to indicate organizations) and OLE objects (like photographs).
