Microsoft EmployeeCharticulator - Tick Formatting
Resident RockstarHI mahoneypat
d3-format is for formatting numerics, not dates. So you won't be able to format it with Tick Format. Charticulator gives you a default continuous axis, just like Power BI does. If you just want to not show the time element, reformat the data type in Power BI from "Datetime" to "Date".
Hope this helps

PS. Our book "Introducing Charticulator for Power BI: Design Vibrant and Customized Visual Representations of Data" should be out soon, hopefully before then end of February, and gives a lot more detail.

Congratulations on your book. Your blog articles were helpful, so I assume the book will be too. The column (and measure) are already Date format. The issue is that my example has 6 days/rows but the chart puts a minimum of 10 ticks (so it needs to put time values too). It would be good to know if there is a way to specify the # of ticks, but, in practice, I would have more than 10 rows. D3 does have syntax for date values, so it looks possible.
