Column chart showing too many labels

[Ian]

In the attached screenshot you can see that my financial data is date based. Sept, Dec and March (Quarters)

When I chart these 3 data points in a column chart, the chart adds Set,Oct,Nov,Dec,Jan,Feb,March.

I only want Sep,Dec and March to show and the columns to be then just really thick.

Is this possible?

Here's my chart:

Html.Kendo().Chart<AccountPerformance>(Model.Results)
                  .Name("chartPCT")
                  .Title("% Return")
                  .Legend(legend => legend.Visible(false))
                  .Series(series =>
                  series.Column(model => model.Metrics.Return)
                      .Name(Model.ColumnTitle)
                      .Labels(false))
                  .ValueAxis(axis => axis
                      .Numeric()
                      .Labels(labels => labels.Format("{0}%")))
                  .CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                      .Date()
                      .MajorGridLines(builder => builder.Visible(false))
                      .Categories(model => model.ObservationDate)
                      .Labels(labels => labels.Format("MMM")))
                  .SeriesDefaults(builder => builder.Column().NegativeColor("#BE2D55").Color("#C0BD7F"))
                  .Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip
                      .Visible(true)
                      .Color("white")
                      .Background("black")
                      .Format("{0:P2}")
                      .Template("#= value #")
                  )
                  .Render();

Hello Ian,

I am afraid Kendo UI Chart does not support baseUnit Quarters. As a possible workaround I can suggest you setting baseUnit months and baseUnitStep 3, however keep in mind we cannot guarantee which will be the first month on the categoryAxis. 

Regarding the bars' width, you should adjust gap / spacing options (as demonstrated in this online demo).
