How to remove the "count of" from the values field on an area chart?

I'm having troubles making this area chart because it keeps counting or suming the values of my chart

I have changed the summarization to "don't summarize" but it keeps counting the data

I would like to know how to remove the "count of" and just add the value to my area chart

Then change your value column to be formatted as a percentage.

And change your value to be calculated as a SUM

You will also want to change your Y-axis range to be from 0 to 1

Is your attribute column set to data type date?

The amounts used in the values section of a chart must come from a calculation of some kind.  If you are wanting to show the total rather than the count change it to SUM in the in the dropdown instead of count or write a measure to sum your field.  If you change it to SUM and have the date on the axis it will show the value.

It is sorted by value but i want it to be sorted by date from august 2022 to july 2023

Change the sort setting on the chart.

Hi @Anonymous  ,
Try this:
Click on this arrow(highlighted in the image)  and you will see Don't summarize option. Select that it will solve the issue.

If you are using a matrix you would have to move the column from the values to the rows
