Control chart shows months

Hi experts,

 

I have a control chart which shows data by data point but I want to add grouped by months data to X axis as well.

 

 

Existing: only have data point as X axis

I would like my control chart to show months of the data like this:

My data looks like this where 1st col is value, 2nd col is data point, and 3rd col is date

Any recommendation would be appreciated

Regards,

KL

Add a calculated column with dax formula is : 

MonthYear = FORMAT('Table'[Date_in],"mmm-yy")Date_in(data type must be date/time)Date_in(data type must be date/time)

Then use this column in the visual for the reporting.

Hi All,

 

I have tried but the result is still not satisfied. However, I negotiated with users to just have a tooltip for showing month, year.

 

And this, I used @Anonymous's calculated column to be on the tooltip.

@kitti , Create a date hierarchy as per your need. And then in drill down use expand(reverse square Y) and try
