Axis Change Type

‎03-08-2019 03:22 AM

Hi

I am trying to create a graph with Dates as the X-axis. When I try to switch the type to Continuous, it doen't work and just switches back to Categorical

My data comes from Analysis Services in a continous connexion and the dates are in a DD.MM.YYYY format

I don't understand why it doesn't work ?

Thank you in advance for the help

HI @Anonymous ,

 

If you mean analysis service datasource with live connection mode, current you can't modify them on power bi desktop side. 
Please do these operations on database side and use power bi get data from modified datasource.
