Let's go through how to create a custom time format for you axis in a chart.
The below chart shows resolution rate over time. We want to change the time format on the X-Axis so that we see ticks based on the week of the year instead.
Start editing the chart and head in to the customize tab. Scroll down to the X-Axis section and click into the Time Format box.
Now we we write our own formatting syntax. (At the bottom of this article is a list of date syntax references). To get the week number by year we can write
%Y-W%V
This will give us the format "2024-W11".
%a
- abbreviated weekday name.%A
- full weekday name.%b
- abbreviated month name.%B
- full month name.%c
- the locale’s date and time, such as%x, %X
.%d
- zero-padded day of the month as a decimal number [01,31].%e
- space-padded day of the month as a decimal number [ 1,31]; equivalent to%_d
.%f
- microseconds as a decimal number [000000, 999999].%g
- ISO 8601 week-based year without century as a decimal number [00,99].%G
