I've got a bar chart representing financial data over a three year period. The chart itself works perfectly well, however the data labels along the x-axis aren't centred or even aligned to the same point on the bars:
After looking around online, I can't find a solution on how to resolve this formatting issues. The only suggestion I've seen relates to changing the x-axis to categorical instead of continuous. However, I don't have that option inside of the x-axis:
How can I align the data labels to the centre of the bar chart, or at least to the same position for all bars?
I'm hoping that I've missed an obvious solutions.

Hi @PeteL1995 ,
Have you drilled for visual objects? Please drill up the visual object to the top level then select the visual object and change the axis type from continuous to categorized.
