Date axis

Hey

 

Hopefully very quick and easy question.

 

I'm setting some graphs over time up, however the date axis acting differently.

 

Ideally I need the date to go

August 23

September 23

October 23 etc

 

However when I bring the hierarchy in it displays year some of the time, and others the ideal output the other.

 

Has anyone got any clues as to how to consistently get the ideal output every time.

hi @Daretoexplore 

 

If you want that date format create a calc column, to have such a format. Make sure the date axis is set to categorical.

Custom Date Format =
FORMAT ( 'table'[date column], "mmmm yy" )
Custom Date Format sort =
FORMAT ( 'table'[date column], "yyyymm" )

The first calc column will be sorted alphabetically so you'll need  another column to sort it by.
