Spending Over Time Report: Months Overlap Each Other (edited)

I did ran a report over a year and a half on the spending report 'over time'.

(I was hoping to find 'average spending' but that's not what this was about)

Anyhow, I don't know if you can see below, but the dates - Like the 2022 of February 2022 is overwritten by the word March. But there are other examples.After August 2022 it's every month until April 2023. Then again in August and September and October of 2023.

This is 'not' a big deal to me, but it looks ugly and could be improved.

    Hey, @RobWilk!

    I'm seeing the same thing on both the Spending and Income Reports when ran "over time". I had to run mine for 2 years to see the issue, so I think it's a display-size thing. I also noticed that zooming down fixes it, but makes the Report really small. At any rate, I reported what we're seeing and will let you know when I hear back. 🙂

  • The x-axis labels overlap in the monthly spending report over time when the number of months is high. Please see attached. I recommend rotating the labels 90 degrees (vertically) or at an angle (45 degrees)

    Just an update that it's still happening. I would be happy if it just abbreviated the date to mm/yy or mm/yyyy , that would likely fit here.

    I agree with this workaround to make the chart easier to read with longer time periods.
