Visualization can't remove Time from Date

[travbum]

I've split a column in to two parts, "CreatedDate" and "CreatedDate_TimeOnly". When I go to chart the "CreatedDate" it's still giving me times for the data. How do I remove this?

This looks like formatting only. Go to the data view and change the format of the date column to exclude the time format

I am facing the same issue

I took an alternative way - in my Line Chart visual I selected Month and Day as hierarchy, then selected 'flatten all level' for the chart. I then got it displayed in month-date in X axis. Users can always drill up to get to monthly trend too. Hope this helps in some way.

I have the same issue but the format change didnt fix it. Any ideas?

@DanielM80 Did you change the Data Type or just the Format?

[DanielM80]

both, but i figured it out last night. The x-axis was set to continious not to category... 

Thanks!

Hi @travbum,

You should be able to change the data type of "CreatedDate" column to Date type and format it under Modeling tab by first clicking the column within your fields.

@v-ljerr-msft  Hi, I have the same problem. The date is formatted as you say but the visual Measure still gives me the time.

When the data range is small (say only 2-3 days), the x-axis tries to be smart so it auto adjusts and inserts time as well. This happens even if the date columns is formated as date only. To solve this, consider switching to categorical (but then dates with no data will not be displayed, thus I do not recommend), or set custom start and end values on the axis.

I am having that same issue. Did you ever get this resolved?

Changing the data type format from 'DateTime' to 'Date' under the data model view worked.
Thank you!

I've tried everything, changing the type format in formatting, changing the data type and I don't want to change the x-axis to Category. How can I solve this?

If changing the data type/format doesn't resolve the issue - change the x-axis under visual settings from 'Continuous' to 'Categorical'
