Stacked column chart- X axis repeats

Hi,

I was able to include a calendar table using DAX and convert calendar year to fiscal year in my visual. But, in one of the stacked column charts (A), the X axis shows repeats of the 12 months with stacked column for a specific quarter - for example Fy 22-23 has 12 months repeated 4 times for each quarter with stacked column for FQtr 1, FQtr 2, 3 and 4 (side scroll to extend through different quarters within the 12 month repeats). Other stacked column chart (B) in the same page apears appropriate without the multiple 12 month repeats - for example Fy22-23 has 12 months only and stacked columns for appropriate FQtrs. How can the X axis be formatted to appear as in chart B without repeats? 

I have attached the X axis images (below) to clarify my help request. Thanks

@S_Balaji , In the first one you have all the columns expended, You can have three columns(from the date table) like a year, qtr, or month. Only expand one level and sort on the axis.

Hi Amit,

Thank you for your quick response. When I expand Chart B (the one format that I would like to have in chart A) further for months, it looks appropriately like below - with no 12 month repeats 4 times, one for each quarter (I realize this should have been the one I should have posted in my help request). Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
