Continuous axis publishing as categorical
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.
Hi all,
After testing, I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. The type of the axis does not change after publishing to service, and the type of the axis can be switched directly in both Service and Desktop.
Desktop:
Service:
Which version of the desktop do you use?
The version I used for testing was: Version: 2.108.997.0 64-bit (August 2022)
If it is not this version, you can use the link below to download the latest version of the desktop.
Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center
Best Regards,

Try adding a legend to the visual rather than two axes and see what happens, this is what broke it in my case.
Hi! Have you already reproduced the problem as guided above? For me, in Power BI Service the axis continuous displays the legends as categorical, despite my report being configured as continuous for this x axis. And there is no option to change it to continuous. And in the same way as previously reported, on Desktop everything works correctly! It was definitely a bug introduced by Microsoft in the Power BI Service.
Did you use a legend, or just put two different measures into the y-axis? The problem appears for me, and is mentioned as occuring for others, when using a legend.
