stacked years on a time based line chart

Hello!

 

I am trying to get separate lines  on top of eachother rather than the full time window. I've got 'year' as my Legend value but it still is appearing as one continuous line, when I am looking for a Jan-Dec window, with each year as a separate line:

This is what I am getting^^^^

 

THis is what I would like it to look like ^^^

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    That is what I refer in the first step you need to add both day and month to your axis, this can be done using an hierarchy with both columns (day/month) or a single column that is day-month format.

    This is happening because you have your X-axis on continuous format, you need to:

    • Add the month and day to the x-axis
    • Add the year on legend
    • Change the x-axis to categorical
    • Turn off concatenate labels on the x-axis

     

    Be aware that this will return all the days for each month so maybe it will not match the example you have in terms of agregation of dates but beleive is one of the options based on the information you have.

      Thanks Felix.

      That does work, however then I lose all my granularity, when I use categorical data.

      You can see that it is summarized by month. Do I need to create some sort of hybrid Month-Day measure (like Jan_1,Jan_2,Jan_3) to achieve the granularity that I want on the graph?
