Hi @Kadrimedquali ,

 

Use a date column as X-axis. Go Format of this line visual, and set x-axis Type as catagorical.

If not work, please try create a new column via Format([date],"yy mmm"), and use it as x-axis. Set the visual sort by this new column.

@Kadrimedquali , Clear a new sort column and mark it as sort column for month

 

Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mmm")
Month Year sort = month([DAte])
