bar chart x axis show MMM-YY for multiple years without adding them up by month.

I have data that spans to 2019. I need to be able to see the month axis change from any point. The problem is if I select months in different years, it sums them up under 1 month category.

Looks like this with 2 years selected (I want Jan 21, Feb 21, Mar 21... May 22, June 22, July 22, etc.); ignore the colors that show certain categories of data and not the year designation:

This is how I have the bar chart axis pulling. I know I probably need another table or something but I cannot figure it out.

Hi @mtp03 

Thanks for reaching out to us.

you need to add year into axis, otherwise it will not correctly identify which year the same or different months should belong to.

I have tried that two ways but it ends up summing up all 2021 in one bar and all 2022 in one bar:

Can you explain what you mean by add the year into the axis?
