X-Axis Date Format Changes after Publishing

Hello experts,

 

I am hoping to get some help with a problem where my x-axis in the desktop version of my report is not matching the published version.

 

In my desktop version I have a continuous type x-axis, showing a hierarical date:

 

 

Which shows with nice sparse labels:

 

 

However when I publish it, it seems the settings change to categorical and make the x-axis unreadable:

 

 

 

 

I am suspecting this is a recent global bug, because I have not changed this visual and been publishing it for the last 12 months without issue. 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

  • I am experiencing the same issue.  This is what it looks like in my desktop version before I publish.

     

     

    Once I publish, it looks like this:

     

     

     

    It doesn't make any sense.  I have been publishing this report for month and not changed any settings.  Why isn't it working?  The continuous x-axis seems to have some sort of bug.

      Yup looks like the same issue - I have not had a resolution on my end yet.

      Thank you for this Selina!  Is there any update/timeline for the fix?

    it looks like in your visual in the service you have the hierarchy expanded with the quarter in it, but the visual above only shows the month.    You probably need to drill down another level.

      Thank you so much for the response!

      The drill down in the visual is drilled down to the month level, and technically showing the data correctly at the month level, just displaying the label improperly.

       

      If I take quarter out of my hierarchy


      It looks a little better:

       

      but still is not matching what I had in the desktop version.

  • Any resolution to this?  I am experiencing the same issue.  Been publishing the same report for 8 months now, where I have a graph using the "continuous" x-axis type, but suddenly starting today, my published version is changing the axis to categorical.  

  • Facing the same issue. 

     

    The labels of the x-axis change after publishing the App, from "Continous" to "Categorical".

     

    Before:

    After:

     

    I can't seem to change it back to continous on app.powerbi.com either. 

     

    Thanks

    Same issue. The only way to fix the date format was to change the date hierarchy into a regular date.
