Bar chart data not matching with table of same data

Hello Gurus, 

 

I am getting a very strange issue when plotting data in Power BI. I am plotting a % measure against period on the X-axis. Please see below. When I try to plot it in a table, the data comes up correctly. However when I change the table to a bar visual, the axis shifts with respect to the measure. Please check the table data below.

Now, when I change this table to a bar chart, I get below. As you can see, the last bar which is 5.02% is supposed to be Nov 2020 value but it automatically shifts. Also, the X- axis start automatically becomes Feb 2020 instead of Jan as you can see.

@Anonymous , seem like continuous axis. Change axis type to categorical
