Controlling X Axis major tick labels in area charts

By default, when you chart by '_time', the major ticks displayed over a multiple week time span always uses Mondays in the major tick labels.  Since I am allowing people to select individual days of the week for week over week comparisons, it would be nice to show the selected day of the week as the major tick label.

Is there a charting control variable that can be used for this?

thanks in advance,

Bob Eubanks

In the attached screen shot, the user has selected 'Fridays' for comparison, yet the chart uses Mondays as the major tick label.
