Hi,

Thanks to I. van Veen and Michael Mc Cain for your help. This is where looking for. It looks simple but in the description there is no or little information about it.

Thanks again and your support is highly appreciated !

Hi Jos, The label specification is not correct as Michael pointed out. My appologies that I missed out your original question...

For a start I changed your plot:

DateListPlot[Tooltip[SelNulTen06],
 PlotLabel -> Style["Year 2006\n0...10 %", "Title", 12],
 BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Arial", FontWeight -> "Bold", 
   FontSize -> 11},
 Axes -> True,
 FrameLabel -> {"Months [n]", "Test [%]"},

 FrameTicks -> {{Automatic, 
    Automatic}, {{{{2006, 1, 1}, "Jan"}, {{2006, 2, 1}, 
      "Feb"}, {{2006, 3, 1}, "Mar"}, {{2006, 4, 1}, 
      "Apr"}, {{2006, 5, 1}, "May"}, {{2006, 6, 1}, 
      "Jun"}, {{2006, 7, 1}, "Jul"}, {{2006, 8, 1}, 
      "Aug"}, {{2006, 9, 1}, "Sep"}, {{2006, 10, 1}, 
      "Okt"}, {{2006, 11, 1}, "Nov"}, {{2006, 12, 1}, "Dec"}}, 
    Automatic}},

 PlotRange -> {{{2005, 12, 10}, {2006, 12, 31}}, {-0.1, 10}},
 GridLines -> Automatic,
 GridLinesStyle -> Directive[Black, Dotted],
 PlotStyle -> Directive[PointSize[Medium], Red],
 Joined -> False,
 Filling -> Axis
 ]

This produces:

So:

1. Pay attention to the ticks format (1 is not a dateformat)
2. When you use a frame and want's ticks specified use FrameTicks
3. When you use plotrange use some extra range to show the first label.

Hi Michael, Thx. I noticed while typing that you basically had the same answer :) I've been fighting with DateListPlot myself and again I find that the documentation is not very precise. Dependencies should be pointed out more and it seems that the examples are carefully crafted not to break anything or are so common for those who document that they forget to mention it.

Hi all,

Here the right code layout !

DateListPlot[Tooltip[SelNulTen06],
 PlotLabel -> Style["Year 2006\n0...10 %", "Title", 12],
 BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Arial", FontWeight -> "Bold", 
   FontSize -> 11},
 FrameLabel -> {"Months [n]", "Test [%]"},

 Ticks -> {{{1, "Jan"}, {2, "Feb"}, {3, "Mar"}, {4, "Apr"}, {5, 
     "May"}, {6, "Jun"}, {7, "Jul"}, {8, "Aug"}, {9, "Sep"}, {10, 
     "Okt"}, {11, "Nov"}, {12, "Dec"}}, Automatic},

 PlotRange -> {Automatic, {-0.1, 10}},
 GridLines -> Automatic,
 GridLinesStyle -> Directive[Black, Dotted],
 PlotStyle -> Directive[PointSize[Medium], Red],
 Joined -> False,
 Filling -> Axis
 ]
