    Hello PowerBINoob24,
    Thanks for your followup.

    The Type (Continuous / Categorical) option in the X-axis settings will only appear if the field on the X-axis is a date or numeric data type.

    From your screenshot, it looks like the X-axis might be using a text field (for example, “Month Name”). In this case, the Type option won’t be available.

    To enable the setting:

    • Ensure the field on the X-axis is an actual Date column.
    • In Model view, check the Data type if it’s Text, change it to Date.
    • Replace the current X-axis field in your visual with this Date field.
    • Now, in the X-axis formatting pane, you should see the Type dropdown and be able to switch between Continuous and Categorical.

     

    Best Regards,
