I must have the bogus version of PBi! I don't see the option to switch to continous

[@PowerBIHowTo]

Hi there, that option is only available when you are using number/date time value on the x-axis. If you are using a column with type text/string, it will not be available. I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out if you have further question on it. Thanks!

@@PowerBIHowTo Oh wow, that was the fastest response I've ever gotten. Thanks so much, I'll try it.

Hey, So in your visual it is showing Jan 2018 and Jul 2018 of every year (6 months diff). So basically I don't want 6 months gap in the axis label. At least we should be able to show Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov bi month label. Can you help me with the same? Thanks!

[@PowerBIHowTo]

Hi there, When you are using x-axis type as "continuous" you cannot control what period it shows on the x-axis. I think I mentioned that in the video. If you want to see all the labels on the x-axis then you have to change x-axis type to "categorical". I hope it helps. If you still have another question, let me know. Thanks!

Hi there, The same approach will work for a line chart? Have you tried it? Thanks!
