    Hi v-viig

     

    The reason formatting was not working for date time is because I have to pass date time object while formatting date time and not date time string. Strange thing is that with API v1.13.0 I was passing date time string and it was working fine but with API v2.1 I had to pass date time object.

    I found this solution by looking at the source code of LineDotChart in visual.ts file @line 166.

Please share pbiviz.json file because it might be related to missing js files.
