Vba chart axis chart format

I am writing a vb script to create diagrams. On the X-axis I have the date and on the Y-axis, the tempo.

On the X-axis, I want to represent time in "dd-mm" format. My data looks like this:

2014-06-17 01:00
2014-06-17 02:00
2014-06-17 03:00
2014-06-17 04:00
2014-06-17 05:00
2014-06-17 06:00
2014-06-17 07:00
2014-06-17 08:00
2014-06-17 09:00

      

And this is what I wrote in the vb script:

 With chtChart.Chart
    .HasTitle = True
    .ChartTitle.Text = sheetName & vbCr & "2014"
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Date"
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).CategoryType = xlTimeScale
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).MinimumScaleIsAuto = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).MaximumScaleIsAuto = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "dd-mm"

    .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
    .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Temperature [C]"
    End With

      

Unfortunately, when I generate the chart, the entire date value is applied to the X-axis (e.g. 2014-06-07 01:00).

Any thoughts / ideas on how I can fix what I have?

Update:

all the code for creating charts:

Function AddChartSheet(sheetName As String, title As String) As Boolean
    Dim ws As Worksheet
   Dim chtChart As ChartObject
   Dim measDataSheetName As String
   'Create a new chart.
   measDataSheetName = sheetName & "_measurements.csv"

   Dim Lastrow As Integer
   Dim seriesNames() As String

   ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add.name = sheetName & " chart"
   Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName & " chart")

   Set chtChart = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(Left:=25, Top:=25, _
        Width:=700, Height:=500)

    With chtChart
        .name = sheetName
    End With


   Lastrow = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(measDataSheetName).Cells(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(measDataSheetName).Rows.Count, "P").End(xlUp).Ro

  With chtChart.Chart
    .HasTitle = True
    .ChartTitle.Text = sheetName & vbCr & "2014"
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Date"
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).CategoryType = xlTimeScale
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).MinimumScaleIsAuto = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).MaximumScaleIsAuto = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "dd-mm"

    .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
    .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Temperature [C]"
    End With

   With chtChart.Chart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
      .name = "Supply"
      .ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers

      .XValues = Worksheets(measDataSheetName).Range("P2:P" & Lastrow) '. SelectRange("C3", Range("C3").End(xlDown))
      .Values = Worksheets(measDataSheetName).Range("T2:T" & Lastrow)

   End With


   With chtChart.Chart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
      .name = "Return"
      .ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers

      .XValues = Worksheets(measDataSheetName).Range("P2:P" & Lastrow) '. SelectRange("C3", Range("C3").End(xlDown))
      .Values = Worksheets(measDataSheetName).Range("U2:U" & Lastrow)

   End With
   AddChartSheet = True

End Function

Ok I found a solution: add formatting after sending data:

 With chtChart.Chart
    .HasTitle = True
    .ChartTitle.Text = sheetName & vbCr & "2014"
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Date"
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).CategoryType = xlTimeScale
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).MinimumScaleIsAuto = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).MaximumScaleIsAuto = True
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "dd-mm"

    .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = True
    .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Temperature [C]"
    End With

   With chtChart.Chart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
      .name = "Supply"
      .ChartType = xlXYScatterSmoothNoMarkers

      .XValues = Worksheets(measDataSheetName).Range("P2:P" & Lastrow) '. SelectRange("C3", Range("C3").End(xlDown))
      .Values = Worksheets(measDataSheetName).Range("T2:T" & Lastrow)

   End With

 With chtChart.Chart
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).AxisTitle.Characters.Text = "Date"
    .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "dd-mm"

   End With

      



and it worked.
