Show more timestamps on continuous x-axis (lower the interval)

Hi, 

 

I was wondering if it is possible to show more timestamps on the x-axis of my graph. Currently every hour is visible but ideally every 15 minutes would be shown.

 

How do I solve this without changing my x-axis to categorical? Because with that, not all times are shown and there is for example a jump from 16h00 to 16h45.

Hi @avater4566 

Only the categorical axis shows every point of the values.
To avoid gaps because of the lack of transactions in some timeslots you need to use a dim_time table and the option "show items with no data".
My timetable is with 1minute timeslots, so it looks that way:

In your case, you need to create a table with 15-minute time slots

To create a dim time table please refer to the linked tutorial:
