How to avoid overlap values in a Timeline?

Hello everyone,

I am creating a Line Chart where i want to display specific dates from my data base in a Time Line.

First i have created 2 variables to Set the minimum and maximum period:

LET vMinDate=40179;
LET vMaxDate=44196;

And than i used these variables in the scale of the chart:

So i have a Time Line between 2010 and 2020:

I need to display Events Dates which comes from 4 fields of my data base, and the problem is that when these dates are close, it is displayed overlaped:

Each date is an expression in the TimeLine chart:

Only ([EU Submission date])

Only ([EU Approval date])

Only ([US Submission date])

Only ([US Approval date])

Attached is the data base and sample of my project.

Anyone could help to avoid these overlaping dates in the Time Line?

Thanks!

Yes, there was some code left over from my other sample file that messed up the dates.

Please check attached version.

Hi swuehl, thanks for your answer.

After analyzing your solution,  i concluded that the TimeLine is not showing the dates from my data base, see below the dates from my data base:

When i select the Value "A" from Details, the Time Line displays the date "05/04/2011", where it should be "06/07/2015":

Another example, if i select the value "I" from Details, the TimeLine displays the dates "05/06/2011", "02/03/2015", "23/12/2016" and "24/10/2019", where it should be "02/12/2011", "13/03/2013", "22/02/2011" and "23/08/2012":

Do you know where is the issue?

Thanks again!
