interactive chart data in yyyy-mm-dd but chart x-axis showing Mmm-yyyy

Hi,

 

I have date field in format yyyy-mm-dd going into a line interactive-chart and I want to keep it in that format in the x-axis, however the output chart keep displaying it as Mmm-yyyy.  How do I configure the chart to display the date x-axis as my original yyyy-mm-dd format?

 

thanks

John

It seems that we can use the DateTime tool to forcely convert the Date format to a String, while the using the Select tool will not work.
It is really weired though.

My fear came true, the ordering of the week using the converted to string field is a mess in the chart even though I've sorted it using the date field before it went into the chart but the output chart is a mess.

Strange, but when I deleted the interactive chart tool and add it again, it seems to fix the ordering of the date but the format of label went back to Mmm-yyyy even though the format of the field "week_start_str" in the x-axis is in yyyy-mm-dd?
