    Hi tubn,

     

    Both X-axis and Y-axis in the scatter chart is used for displaying numerical data. So it's expected the date field will be aggregated when you place it in axis. I would suggest you go through this tutorial to understand the scatter chart better: Tutorial: scatter charts and bubble charts in Power BI.

     

    In your scenario, if you want to display date values without aggregated in X-axis, you can choose another charts, like column chart, bar chart and line chart.

     

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

Hi Qiuyun,

 

Thank you for replying to me.

I will try another chart which is suitable for time series data.

 

Thanks,
