I am trying to get my chart to only show the month name. I have changed the horizontal axis options to do that but they are all duplicated. Can anyone tell me how I can get this set up to only show each month one time?

Here is the chart without any formatting: enter image description here

It correctly shows the 4 data points.

I then go to the Horizontal Axis properties, change it to number and then select the MMM for the three character month name which correctly displays: enter image description here

when I run the report after making that change I get an extra month (december) and all the month names are duplicated: enter image description here

What do I need to do so that I only get Jan - Apr one time on my horizontal axis?

Thanks for any suggestions!

edit: Here is the raw data:

I have tried changing the interval but have seen no effect on the output. I have tried unselecting the "Always include zero" option to get rid of december but that didn't work either.

edit 2: I said above there was no effect when I changed the axis interval to 1, actually that results in many entries for the Year-Month data in the axis area. enter image description here

It's not supposed to work like this. I can't figure out how it got this way if it was working before. Is your Category Group expression grouping by month or does it have individual dates?Hannover Fist
The axis interval might be set to Auto, this sometimes goes wrong so I force the interval to be whatever I want, in your case 1. Also check the Axis Type is set correctly.Alan Schofield

Right click on horizontal axis, select axis property, from the "Axis range and interval", for interval, type in "1" (without quotes), for interval type, select "Month", then hit OK. enter image description here
