Bar Chart Axis Label Issue
- 10 years ago
Hi Thiyagu,
Cool Buddy!!!
1. Create "Date Master " using the folowing Power Query
let
Source = (StartDate as date, EndDate as date, optional Culture as nullable text) as table =>
let
DayCount = Duration.Days(Duration.From(EndDate - StartDate)),
Source = List.Dates(StartDate,DayCount,#duration(1,0,0,0)),
TableFromList = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing()),
ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(TableFromList,{{"Column1", type date}}),
RenamedColumns = Table.RenameColumns(ChangedType,{{"Column1", "Date"}}),
InsertYear = Table.AddColumn(RenamedColumns, "Year", each Date.Year([Date])),
InsertQuarter = Table.AddColumn(InsertYear, "QuarterOfYear", each Date.QuarterOfYear([Date])),
InsertMonth = Table.AddColumn(InsertQuarter, "MonthOfYear", each Date.Month([Date])),
InsertDay = Table.AddColumn(InsertMonth, "DayOfMonth", each Date.Day([Date])),
InsertDayInt = Table.AddColumn(InsertDay, "DateInt", each [Year] * 10000 + [MonthOfYear] * 100 + [DayOfMonth]),
InsertMonthName = Table.AddColumn(InsertDayInt, "MonthName", each Date.ToText([Date], "MMMM", Culture), type text),
InsertCalendarMonth = Table.AddColumn(InsertMonthName, "MonthInCalendar", each (try(Text.Range([MonthName],0,3)) otherwise [MonthName]) & "'" & Text.Range(Number.ToText([Year]),2,2)),
InsertCalendarQtr = Table.AddColumn(InsertCalendarMonth, "QuarterInCalendar", each "Q" & Number.ToText([QuarterOfYear]) & " " & Number.ToText([Year])),
InsertDayWeek = Table.AddColumn(InsertCalendarQtr, "DayInWeek", each Date.DayOfWeek([Date])),
InsertDayName = Table.AddColumn(InsertDayWeek, "DayOfWeekName", each Date.ToText([Date], "dddd", Culture), type text),
InsertWeekEnding = Table.AddColumn(InsertDayName, "WeekEnding", each Date.EndOfWeek([Date]), type date),
InsertWeekStarting = Table.AddColumn(InsertWeekEnding, "WeekStart", each Date.StartOfWeek([Date]), type date)
in
InsertWeekStarting,
#"Invoked FunctionSource" = Source(#date(2016, 1, 1), #date(2016, 12, 31), null),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Invoked FunctionSource",{{"MonthOfYear", Int64.Type}, {"QuarterOfYear", Int64.Type}, {"DayOfMonth", Int64.Type}, {"DayInWeek", Int64.Type}}),
#"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Changed Type", "Date", "Date - Copy"),
#"Calculated Week of Year" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Duplicated Column",{{"Date - Copy", Date.WeekOfYear}}),
#"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Calculated Week of Year",{{"Date - Copy", "WeekofMonth"}}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns",{{"Year", Int64.Type}, {"DateInt", Int64.Type}, {"MonthInCalendar", type text}, {"QuarterInCalendar", type text}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Sorting Order", each [Year]*100 + [MonthOfYear]),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each true),
#"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Filtered Rows",{{"Sorting Order", Int64.Type}})
in
#"Changed Type2"2. Now you have create Relationship between your original source with Date Master
Eg. Date from Date Master = Your Fiscal Date
3. Now Drag MonthInCalender to X-Axis
4. Then Choose "MonthInCalender" go to "Modelling" and you find "Sort by Order" from there u can choose "Sorting Order"
Let me know , if it is not solve your problem.
Cheers
You could try changing the axis type to "Categorical" rather than "Continuous"(Format Pane > X-Axis > Type).
It will cause the following:
1. All date labels will be shown.
2. If there's not enough space, they'll be displayed vertically.
3. If there's still not enough space, the visual will become horizontally scrollable.
4. The line will be cut in places where it has no values in your data(Since it is not continuous in this mode).
