Advocate IContinuous axis publishing as categorical
I refresh a report weekly and have been doing this for 10 months. I have a graph using the continuous x-axis type and never had a problem. Suddenly today, when I published, the published version doesn't look at all like my desktop version. The published version looks like the x-axis has been changed to categorical. Is this a bug? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks to all for the responses. I am using the Aug. 2022 version of PowerBI. I also tried taking the legend off. Nothing seemed to fix it. I spent hours trying different things. What finally fixed it for me was changing the date on the x-axis from "date hierarchy" to "date". It has been on hierarchy for 10 months, so not sure why this doesn't work anymore. Anyway, this workaround fixed my issue. Hope it helps others.

Same issue on my side, here is my post about it : https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Hierarchy-in-Power-BI-Service-is-broken/m-p/2763657
For the support team, the issue is only visible on the Power BI Service. Any solution expected ?

ReginaldPenguinPlease can this be looked into further I'm also seeing the issue. August 2022 installed, never happened before this.
As mentioned by another user this can happen in desktop too if you change to categorical you can't change back.
cumulonimbusThat isn't a full solution because by changing from date hierarchy to just date you lose the ability to go to lower hierarchy levels or expand down a level

This is what it looks like in my desktop version before I publish.
Once I publish, it looks like this:
It doesn't make any sense. I have been publishing this report for month and not changed any settings. Why isn't it working?
I'm also having the very same issue! I recently experienced the issue after updating my desktop software to the june release. I hope it's fixed in the september release as my org is planning an update soon.
I am having the exact same issue. First noticed this yesterday when I published my daily report.
I have notice that in the desktop version, when toggling the x axis to categorical from continuous, there is no option to toggle back to continuous other than clicking reset to default. Not sure if this is new or not, but it could be related.
Anonymous Why are you ignoring this problem? There are several open complaints about the same bug, with the most varied explanations.

Bumping to keep this topic at the top.
Please can we have an update on this please? Microsoft can't push Power BI to be a business critical tool and then have no support available for anyone who raises the issue
Our consultancy works with and promotes Power BI to our clients but at our upcoming managment meeting I will be discussing the market alternatives that have better first line support
