Using a clustered column chart. When I pull in a Date field into Axis - I can see all date hierarchy options available, Day, Month, Quarter, Year. However, when I pull the same date field into the legend field, the date Hierarchy defaults to only show Year. Is there a way around this? Looking to put this field in Legend and show months.
Create a 'year-month' column in your data and add that to your date hierarchy.

From your date hierarchy, expand and just drag the year to the legend.
