The appropriate chart for dates

[Banan]

Hi,

What type of chart can I use if I have a set of dates to place on one axis, and the other axis will be of type text? Without any numerical operations like count. Is it possible to achieve this?

Here, the issue is that dates appear on the Y-axis in a 'count' manner, not reflecting their actual chronological order.

 

 

thank you

@Banan ,

yes you can't display it in a chart without an aggregated value like sum, count....

you can display it in a table visual

Hi  @Banan ,

Bar charts are the standard for viewing specific values in different categories. Fields placed in the Y-axis are displayed in numeric format, and even if you have text or dates, aggregation operations like Count, sum are performed.

You can use superuser @Idrissshatila 's answer to show visuals using Form Visual.

Or in a bar chart, place the date field in Tooltips, and each time the mouse hovers over a [Name], the corresponding [Birthday] will be displayed.

If you want to sort, you can click on Sort axis - Earliest Birthday - Sort ascending.

Best Regards,

Hello @Banan ,

It won't work with a chart, try using a table.
