After created in Power BI, notice the months displayed in chart are Jul and Jan. Is there a way to change to Jun and Dec of each year?

Hi, @lawsc76 

 

It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

I’m sorry to say that it can’t be changed because the date displayed on the x-axis after drilling is selected by system default. You may submit an idea Here:https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/.

You can also set the start and end time to show the time period you want or choose ‘categorical’ type to show all time periods instead.

Hi @lawsc76 Can you share a sample data? Your expected outcome is Bar chart or line chart?

Are there multiple rows per year? you wanted to plot all data but show x-Axis with June and Dec month labels only?

@lawsc76 , Can you share sample data and sample output in table format?

 

Try a measure like

if(Max(date[Month])>= 6 && Max(date[Month])<=12 , [Measure] , blank())
