Re: Real time streaming data format - integer as float
Ok, I think I've found a solution for this issue, but I'm not sure it will work in every case. I've placed the date in date format into labels of my line chart. So it looks like this (I'm using Power BI in Polish, so I've added transcription to my screenshot). For the same set in Year/Month/Day there's the same date in a separate date field, for example for Year 2017, Month 1, Day 1 in date I should have 2017-01-01 12:00:00 no matter how many times it appears in my stream of data. So I think it doesn't matter that I'm using earliest of those in chart labels (check screen below). In this scenario, I've got correct order even when I'm using text values as Year/Month/Day. Looks like I didn't spend enough time on this case and I rushed a little bit with creating a topic in here. But maybe someone will find this one useful, or there's something wrong in this use case what I'm still missing.Re: Real time streaming data format - integer as float
Hi Dale, thanks for Your reply. I thought about it - using a text field for it, but sometimes I'm getting stuck with sorting it in a correct way - it puts values from 10 to 19 between 1 and 2 just like on a picture below. I'm not sure if I can change it somehow. I'm just trying to create a simple line chart with date hierarchy and it seems to be impossible. :P
