Greetings everyone,

I want to make a simple line chart to show some data based on month. But I found that the x axis is base on the timestamp. I also noticed it can be change by a Moment.js time formatted string. But I don't know how to use it. I just want to change the timestamp into : Jan, Feb, Mac, Apr, May, Jun, July, Aug, etc...  
Any example of the moment.js time formatted string will be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Best Regards.

Current chart :

You can format the X-axis in many ways - including custom.

Thank you for the answer, I didn't notice the node properties will be changed. 🤣
