How do I prevent x-axis labels on Reporting charts being forced to certain data types.

 

As you can see in my sample, the data table shows that the x-axis should be text, but the chart has forced the x-axis to be numeric and where it can't parse the value as a number it shows it as 0.

 

How can I make it show as text, like in the data table on the left?

Hello Rebecca,

You need to use CategoryScale for your X axis. Category scale is designed for displaying values that do not belong to a continuous domain like numbers or dates. You can change your scale as described here:

How to: Change the Axis Scale

Please take a look at the attached sample report that is build based on your scenario and demonstrates the approach. We hope you will find it useful.
