Basic But so Frustrating - Help!!!

Hi Everyone, this is doing my head in, and I cannot figure out how to resolve so any guidance would be appreciated.

 

I have a table with 2 columns, Date and Duration as shown below:

 

xPJRx_0-1638980648271.png

the 'LoadDate' is shown by day, eg 08/12/2021, however, when i drop these values into a graph to plot load duration by day, PowerBi is displaying the dates grouped as month, as shown below:

There is no date hierachy built into this field, and it is formated as a date field, I have also turned off all the date/time grouping for this workbook in settings, but I still cannot for the life of me change the graph to show by actual day date as shown in the table screenshot.

 Any ideas?

 

thanks

Paul

Hi @xPJRx 

 

Try this.

All you have to do is go to Format->X Axis->Type->Categorical.

 

Third image has solution.

@xPJRx , Make sure you are taking the sum of load duration , not the count

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
