I have a report that shows monthly data (in the Sept 2022 format) in power bi desktop. Once I publish to PowerBI service, the date axis looks like its been change to a categorical data type. I have tried clearing the cache, refreshing the data, and republishing. Nothing has worked. I have also tried editing the report in power bi servie, but for some reason, I do not have the option to change from categorical to continuous data types in power bi service. Has anyone run into a similar issue and resolved it?
Hi @Anonymous
If you delete the reports and republish from Desktop to Service , is the displayed date the same as the Desktop?
