Date axis won`t work in PBI

[CRaDeRa]

Hi,

Ive made a radial chart which is still rather simple, but I dont want to progress further until Ive made it work properly in Power BI. The issue is that everytime I put the date on the radial axis, I always get the “Dataset incomplete” message in Power BI even though all the data is provided. If I remove the date from the axis and replace it with some other attribute the chart works fine. Is there a date format issue I need to know about, or a certain code that needs to be added to the plotsegment filtering to make it work? Ive seen examples of this working for others (ex: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Data-Stories-Gallery/Charticulator-Radial-and-Scatter-Plots-with-Diverging-Colour/td-p/930913) so I assume I`m doing something wrong.

I can confirm that I have also had problems with date fields (see my comments to pull request #305), so for now I am not using them in my custom visuals. When I have tried in the last few days, I have had the same 'Dataset incomplete' message in PowerBI.
I have tried to upload the .chart corresponding to the link that @CRaDeRa posted, both to the charticulator site and to my own local server, and it refuses to load; it may be the format of the .chart file, or maybe some other problem related to the date fields problem.

Can you share your .chart file and data set sample?

I've attempted to re-create the chart from scratch and it definitely isn't working as it should be. Previously I could add the date to the radial axis and the month component of the date to the angular axis and you'd get something like this (which I've quickly knocked-up in 1.4.0):

---

If I try to do this in 1.6.0, I get the valid expressions in the plot segment, but the chart doesn't render the glyphs correctly, e.g.:

I note that in 1.4.0 - note that the expressions are the same, but the range data is a POSIX timestamp rather than formatted date/time (in 1.6.0).

If I try to type these timestamps in to see if I can override them, Charticulator will convert them in the UI back to formatted dates and they'll display for a brief second and then blank out, so I think the root cause may be around here somehwhere.

Here's the .chart file working for 1.4.0, which I note cannot be imported in 1.6.0. I've had to .zip it as GitHub doesn't support .chart as a valid extension: global_temp_anomaly_radial.zip

If I have this chart saved in my local session cookies for 1.4.0 and then attempt to load into 1.6.0, it won't actually work and the UI just sits there - there's nothing reported in the browser console that I could use to provide any further info, and other chart types I have stored seem to work just fine.
