Wondering if there is a way to have the dates aligned with the data, while displaying all the data points...? Is there a setting that fixes this while also allowing all months to display? I noticed the misalignment happened when I edited the axis to fix the tick marks to show every 1 month. It appears fine when I don't have this setting...but then only 3 months show in the dashboard...

Hi Jennifer,
The data points may be misaligned if there are days in the data. Tableau is trying to get the most accurate point. One option may be to change the size of the view so that there is more space between each Month. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately I don't think this is the case as this behavior only shows up when you change the axis to show every month...see below...
Aligned with major tick marks assigned automatic
misaligned with major tick marks fixed to show every month - it makes no difference if you have include times checked or not...

Hi Jennifer,
The reason that the points look misaligned is because of the Tick Origin on the Tick Marks, Edit Axis Dialogue box. If Tick Origin Date is changed to 1/1/2011, then the points should look correct. Hope this helps!
