I would suggest to create a YY/MM column in the Date Table with this code:

 

YY/MM = FORMAT ( [Date], "YY/MM" )

 

Then pull this column as your axis field.

hi @rathimd , If you are not able to change it from the format option. You can create this caluclated column in your table and using in the axis of your visual,

 

YY/MM = FORMAT ( [Date], "YY/MM" )
