Issues displaying Year and Months in chart

Hi,

 

I have a column called Month that is formated as Date/Time, Format: 2001-03(yyyy-MM). It looks correct in the model. I have a line chart where I would like to have both Month and Year visible, since I have data spanning more than one year. 

 

The problem is that my chart can only display Year OR Month. If I select both Year and Month in the date hierarchy, I only get Year displayed in the chart. Any ideas?

Ahh, obvisoluy missed that if you have a date hierarchy you have to drill down in the chart if you want to see both year and month....

Hey @matt_s ,

 

Please select your Date columna and check the name of your Date column like below screen shot.

I found one way to solve this by created a calculated column storing the date values as text. But I'm having a hard time understanding that this should not work with a date column?

 

Year-Month = [Month].[Year] &"-"&FORMAT([Month].[MonthNo];"00")
