    Just wondering if you are using the PBI Auto Time Date and if this is currently showing up as categorical data in the field well.  If so then the fix is to drill down using the Expand all rather than Drill to the next level in the hierarchy.

     

    Just in case my guess is right.

    - Drill back to top level (Year)

    - Ensure X is continuous

    - Use Expand all to drill down

     

    This is what I ended up with

    Please mark as the answer if this works or 'like' if it helped.  All kudos appreciated.
