Step chart step location

Hi, I've created a step chart for data where the value is either 1 or 0 and the step chart shows a timeline of it.

Currently it looks like this.

My problem is that in the data the last two rows have date values of 9:10:50AM and 9:17:25AM but the chart puts the step in the middle of those two, around 9:14AM. I would like it to show it exactly where the value is, so in this case at 9:17:25AM.

I couldn't find any info on this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please change the X-axis type to "Categorical".

Hi @v-yulgu-msft 

Thank you for your reply!

 

The categorical type doesn't seem to influence where the line is drawn.

In the screenshot you sent, it still draws the line at around 9:14 which is not what I'm looking for. I'd like for it to draw the line at 9:17:25AM, the same place that the date is in the dataset.
