I have an on-premise tabular model with a fact/date table. The date table has a Year column displaying years as 2014, 2015.
When I create a line chart on Power BI.com and add the Year column from the date table to the Legend it displays as 2,014.0
How can I change the legend formatting with the Power BI service?

Hi
I solved this problem. A little background. The field was a calculated field (tabular) for FiscalYear. In Tabular and SSMS the appearance of the number was fine. In Power BI Desktop & Service the number changed to 2,015.00. The reason is because in Tabular the property of the columns for Data Format was Auto. I suppose Power BI is trying to be helpful. When I set the format to Whole Number and redeployed the problem went way.
Thanks for your help.
@Anonymous The type of axis is Continious your have change it to Categorial to get Year values.
Step By Step:
1. Select the chart which is showing Continious values for years
2. In the right pane go to Format tab
3. Open the axis which has Years suppose it is X-axis
Change the property Type from Continious to Categorial
Cheers

This doesn't work. In any case the Year is on the Legend (series) rather than the X Axis.
@Anonymous Can you please share a screen shot
