Time on the axis of a visual, but field is formatted without time

Hello, 

 

Something strange is going on with my visual. My Date field is also showing a time in the Axis:

Only the format in de data table is set to 'Date' only:

I have used this formula before in other reports without any problem, but now this suddenly occuring.

Does anyone have a solution form this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @themistoklis,

I have set the date field to this format in the Data View. Only without any effect:

The visual stays in the same date/time format.

Hi @themistoklis,

Thank you for your reply. The problem is that it is already set to date only:
