Tool tip indicates April but the X Axis displays May.

Has anyone ever seen this before? I sure haven't

 

Note that the tool tip indicates April but the X Axis displays May.

I copied and pasted the bar graph visual and changed it to a table. The table shows the values as April but for some reason the Month value is displayed as May on the X Axis?

 

Reproduced the error here

Switching to a line chart and adding markers makes it a bit more clear what's happening.

Notice that the dot markers are just left to the center of the month label since they are on the last date of the previous month. If you switch the x-axis to categorical, it looks a bit more like you'd expect (though you may want to change the display format of the date).

The Type control is under the Format pane in the x-axis section.

Is your date axis Continuous or Categorical? Does it make a difference if you change it?
