X Axis with continuous dates

My data set has dates.  The data represents monthly averages (not loading daily data) and given the first of the month as the date.  When I create a graph, the X axis is populated with the dates in between.  I dont want this but cant figure out how to get rid of.  I have the axis set to continuous and need it that way when showing longer time periods (more than 1 year).  I dont have this issue when more than one year is graphed.  I have suppress zero values and missing on.

Ok, this is the correct answer per my testing.  The only issue (which is minor) is the last data point doesn't get an x-axis label.  I suspect there is no solution to this but if you have one I would be interested.  Thanks for your help.

PS - How did you come up with 30.44?

That's what you get when you set the axis to continuous.

But if the data is monthly, you could manually scale the axis to 30.44 days. I don't think there is any way (with a continuous axis) of making it strictly monthly, but it may be good enough with that scale and the axis format set to MMM-YY (or similar without the day number)
