Hi&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;,
&nbsp;
Go to format pane, change the type of x-axis to "Categorical".

Then&nbsp;change the format of the date column to what you want it to look like.

&nbsp;
Best Regards,
Jay

Anonymous , You can create a custom column with sort order column. 
&nbsp;
But that will not give you continuous axis , as that will be text type column
&nbsp;
Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mm-yyyy")Month Year sort = FORMAT([Date],"yyyymm")
&nbsp;

thank you for your support!However, by setting type to categorial, a taskbar appears for the X-axis - which is not wanted.&nbsp;It seems that PowerBi does not allow the formatting of the axes...
