    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Your data is not continuous, and the date column has a specific time.

    So you need to create a column and an additional date table,then use that date in slicer.

    Like this:

    Column = DATE(YEAR([CreatedDate]),MONTH([CreatedDate]),DAY([CreatedDate]))
Table = CALENDAR(MIN(testdataPowerBIcsv[CreatedDate]),MAX(testdataPowerBIcsv[CreatedDate]))

    Here is my sample .pbix file.Hope it helps.

    If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

     

    Best Regards

Hi, Anonymous 

 

It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

According to your description,If the first picture just showed the wrong date range,you can set the start and end time period in the x-axis of the line chart.

    Hi Janey Guo,

     

    I checked my settings, but they are exactly the same as yours. (Although thanks for meantioning. Indeed something I could have overlooked) 

     

    Note that all my data is just in one table. So it should be something easy.

    Also all my filters on the y-axis are working, only the CreatedDate on the x-axis isn't working.

     

    Highly appreciate your help,

     

    Catherine

      Hi, Anonymous 

       

      Try like this:

      column:Year Month = format([Date],"mmm yyyy")

measure :=
CALCULATE (
COUNTX ( 'Cases', 'Cases'[CaseNumber] ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Cases', 'Cases'[YearMonth] )
)+0

      Could you mind providing some sample data ?So that we can help you more clearly.

      If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

       

      Best Regards

        I tried it, but then I see the sum of all [CaseNumber] for all CreatedDates the same. No filter on the y-axis anymore.

        So it is just the opposite of what I want, i.e. a working filter on the x-axis.

         

        (I will see if I can generate a sample for you, I encountered some hick-ups to make it)
