Align X-Axis Labels with Data Labels in Line Chart

As Shown in the image below, the data label on the line in a Line Chart is off by an entire month when looking at the X-Axis.

Is that a setting? Can these be aligned?

@comish4lif2  Hi, you can try this option to show all data "continous or Catagorial"

Thanks - that worked.

But under the hood with continuous vs categorical, what is Power BI doing?

Those labels - and some that I have were even worse - are way out of alignment. Even though I am using a categorical date and drilling down to display month and year, is BI trying to day by day with continuous as the X-Axis type.

Can you share you data table? . If it is confidential, please share some dummy data similar to your data. We will check it

What are you checking?
