    Hi kirill_vaynberg,

     

    When you drag the date column to Axis of a line chart, it will automatically enable date hierarchy. You can check the column name instead of the Date Hierarchy. The date value in the X-axis will display based on the visual width and number of records in this date column. We are not able to set interval for date in the X-axis, we can just specify the start date and end date.

     

     

    To display all date values in x-axis, the best option is to set X-axis type as Categorical, it will generate a horizontal scroll bar for us to view all data if there are two many records.

     

    Best Regards,
    Qiuyun Yu

Yes it works but unfortunately if you use the categorical option you loose the X axis constant line 😞 Thanks
