Hello community,
Here in attached two differents graphs generated by Excel and Power BI.
Same data, different outcome.

Do you know how to resolve it (and why in Power BI is formatting the data like this)?
Thanks in advance

When you drag date on x axis keep data insted of Hierarchy
make sure on x axis you setup categoey as categorical as shown in attched image
