Example sheet with a wrong chart

Hi,
  I realized that Calc is continually making me to draw categories on X-axis whcih is not what I want. I attach a wrong example. Simply I failed to make the X-axis a linear time series. also, the inheritance of the format of the values from underlying Sheet fails to proipagate to the chart, so I had to set the [HH]:MM:SS.00 again.

  Please try to make it easier.

I made my own chart from your data and there is nothing wrong with the formatting. Why are the categories a problem? The setting is shown in the screenshot.

Thanks for reporting the issue.
However, saying 'Please try to make it easier' is not accepted as an issue.
Please be more concrete about what the bug or enhancement is.
As Buovjaga showed, it's not that complicated to do what you want.
