Line Chart showing a gap of 5 Months in between each Month such that in between Months were hidden.

Hello Experts,

 

I want to show 3 years data in a line chart in x-axis, by a year-month combination lets say starting from 2019 Jan and then showing only 2019 July like wise all the 3 years months will be fitted in a single line chart so that in between months were hidden in showing. My main intention is if we present like this way it will be more engaging for the end user. It is a easy one I believe but I am new to Power BI. 

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

if I understand correctly you can try to create a calculated column on the data table.
Sign with 1 only the month that you want to show and with 0 the others.
Then filter the x axis with the 1 values only.
You can write a dax like this:
ShowValues = SWITCH(Datatable[MonthNumber], 1, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 0, 5, 0, 6, 1, 7, 0, 8, 0, 9, 0, 10, 0, 11, 0, 12, 1, 0) 
Let me now if it is a solution.
If you post a pbix i can try to resolve on it.

Hi Amith,

Thanks for the quick reply. 

It is not allowing me to do. Currently I created a calculated table with year month , year, month combination columns writing a dax. I am using that year month combination column in our line chart x axis. Since the column has many values ranging from 2019, 2020,2021,2022 I am unable to show these with a gap interval of 6 months.

I am able to show these in x axis but with continuous month year combination.

I am wondering from the past 3 hours how to do so

 

 

 

 

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Can you provide some sample data or simple pbix files? Sensitive information can be removed in advance. What kind of expected results do you expect? You can also show it with pictures.
