Allow Formatting of Dates in X Axis with Continuous Data

[David_Hartung]

Please allow users to specify the date format in which dates should appear on the X axis on visualizations. At present, dates display with times in the X axis if space is available. My data does not have time, and so displays meaningless 12 AM values after the date. I attempted a calculated column using DAX to format date as "m/d" but the visualization continued displaying with meaningless 12 AM values. Changing the model to a non-time format such as text allowed effective sorting, but not treating the data as continuous, which prevents use of trend lines. Please allow users to specify the date format in which dates should appear on the X axis on visualizations.

I've created a date table with a column for month name but as a continuous variable using date as the type. I've formatted the properties to "mmm", but despite this formatting, charts in power bi still display "mmm yyyy" and can't be fixed. Why? The only work around is to create a month number and use that instead. Very disappointing that the formatting works in the table, but not in charts. I would love for our friends in development to help us out with this problem. Thank you.

It's been over two years since this request was submitted. Right now we have to choose between using Categorical and seeing all our dates on the x-axis but trends are disabled, or Continuous with zero control over the date labels on the x-axis but we get trends. Please let us have the best of both worlds?
