Visualization problem with bar charts

Dear Community,

 

please see screenshot below

How is it possible to make all the x axis labels (months, in this case) to show up? 

The 'Labeli density' command does not apply to those, and it seems like there is no other way. It is not a matter of space/size of the chart, no matter how big I make it.

 

Thanks for any hints!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please set the type of the X -axis to Categorical in Format pane as the picture below.

Hi,

 

thanks. That also doesn not help, since that changes the format of the data label itself (I have 2 data points every month, so I end up with a DD.MM.YY plus the time lable which is not what I am looking for - example below).

But I guess, this is the closest as I can get to a solution - in the lack of more custom options on the labels, and without changing the data structure of course.

 

THanks
