Helper IIDeneb Visual Vegalite - Duplicate labels (Month-Year) on X axis
Helper IIgiammariam :
I have milestones based on dates, so in same month it is possile to have multiple milestones.
When I am trying to show Month-Year on X axis as labels using timeunit monthyear and type temporal, all milestones (marks) which belong to the same month overlap each other.
To make all milestones (marks) visile and do not overlap, I am using date to position marks but as a consecuence of that it show too many repeated labels for Month-Year meaning it shows label for each mark.
Instead even if there are milstones (marks) distriuted by date in same month, I want to show them at different position but on X axis, I want to show label once for each month-year.
Solution SageThanks for that malpani. I got closer, see here. However, with the data that you provided, you can see that the milestones overlap when there are more than 2 in a given month.
An alternative way that this may be able to be handled is that you facet the data so that each column is a month-year. Then within each facet you could have the milestones laid out sequentially. To do this though, you'd want to have your dataset include rows for month-years that have no milestones (e.g. February - June, plus September in this dataset) so they show in the facet. If you're able to set up your dataset to include these additional rows, I can give this a shot.
