Hi,

I’m often using rowselectors with SQLServer tables and filtering on t\_stamp columns (year/month/day), then feeding a bar chart. Most of the time I only use the date part, but I cannot cast the t\_stamp column to a date since the row selector filters do not work with it.

It would be better for the category axis display in bar charts if row selectors filter could work with date datatype as well as with datetime datatype.

Thanks.
