Problem with date display in a visual

Hello.

 

I have a report with a date table. The date column is set to data type: Date with the format as d/mm/yy.

I use the column in a visual to show the change in a value over time, so the date is the X axis.

Despite being a date column, the visual shows time (12a.m.)

Here is the settings of the date columm:

This is what it looks like in table view:

Despite that, the axis of any charts that use this column show an annoying and superfluous time stamp:

How can I fix this?

 

TIA.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I think I find the reason .

In Visualizations pane ,you can change the Type of X axis .Choose Categorical instead of Continuous. The time (12a.m.) may not display. The visual I used is Line Chart visual .
