Can't seem to create a line chart with date measure field

[btfergie]

I am trying to create a line chart visual with status date on the X axis and status number on the Y axiz but can't use the measure index or date fields in the X axis.

This is related to a process going through different stages with an estimated duration known for each stage.

• First I select the process type I am interested in.  This gives me the duration at each stage. 
• Then I convert the start date to a workday index with a LOOKUPVALUE on a date table so I can count only workdays.

Start WorkDayIndex Col = CALCULATE(lookupvalue('Calendar2 (EDWn)'[WorkDayIndex],'Calendar2 (EDWn)'[Calendar Date],FIRSTDATE(MoldQual_RCGL[ProcessStart])))

• Adding the  Start WorkDay Index to the Completed Total duration, I get a Status WorkDayIndex measure.

Status WorkDayIndex = [Start WorkDayIndex]+sum('Mold Qual Duration Categories'[Completed Total])

• I then use the Status WorkDayIndex measure to Lookup a Date.

ProjectedStatusDate = calculate(LOOKUPVALUE('Calendar2 (EDWn)'[Calendar Date],'Calendar2 (EDWn)'[WorkDayIndex],[Status WorkDayIndex]))

This all works in a table but I can seem to use the ProjectedStatusDate in a line chart visual.  I can't drop the field in the field box.

Please conver the [ProjectStatusDate] to date data type using power query.

Thank you but it does seem to be date type.

I don't beleive it is text date type.  But if it was would you suggest usaing the format function?
