Change Date format in continuous X-Axis

Hi everyone,

 

I need to to change the format to only show "dd-mmm" or "mmmm" in my X-axis but I need to keep the continuous axis type.

 

I'm able to change the format only when type is set to categorical but it is very important to keep it as continuous since I want to display the entire year comparison per day.

 

I'm starting to think it is not possible, please help. Here is the file sample in this link

@dustdaniel , I doubt that is possible in a continous chart.

Not possible. Axis labels are rendered dynamically based on the number of data points in the current context.
