Remove date from time in x axis labels

Hi,

I'm making a chart to show the numbers of enquiries we receive during the day in 30 min segments. The x-axis data is coming from a column containing times (rounded to nearest :00 or :30). It isn't from a date heirarchy. On the chart it is putting 31 Dec then 1 Jan in front of the times. I can't work out where it's pulling this date from. I've checked the data type is 'time'.

Can anyone help on how to remove these dates?

Thank you in advance

Gemma

Hi @GeeBay 

 

If the column only contains Time data then it should plot only Time data.

 

Are you sure there aren't any dates in the Time column?  Check in Power Query. 

 

Even if the column is set to Time data type in PBI (in the data view) it could have dates, just not being displayed.

 

Regards

 

Phil
