    Hi Marty_Dub ,

     

    Agree with Amit's solution.
    You can set the X-axis type in Power BI Desktop to republish the report.
    Or edit the report in Power BI Service and change the type of X-axis according to your needs.

     

     

    Hope it helps,

    Hi Anonymous 

     

    Thank you for the suggestion - I'm not sure I'm following though sorry.  The X-Axis for my visualisation in the Desktop version is set as Catagorical.  It's not allowing me to change to Continuous - it just resets back to Catagorical whenever I select it.

      Hi Marty_Dub ,

       

      The X-axis is divided into two types:

      • Continuous: The Continuous axis is only applicable to numeric Data, like date and time. If we are using a continuous axis, then we don’t have control over the scale, which means if we are extending the date range or increasing the size of the chart, the scale automatically adjusts.
      • Categorical: The Categorical axis can use text or number, and also it levels every data point.

      Please see if this case can help you：Unable to change x-axis type from categorical to continous 

       

      Or you may edit it in Power BI Service to see if it works.

       

      Hope it helps,
