Hi  
I've data in this format

```auto
"Admission _date" : "2020-01-28",
          "id" : 78

```

when I visualize the data in this format I get results like this  
X axis : admission date  
Y axis : count of records

 ![date](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/0/6032bf6e1f81f00d6d74e7ba4400f70a01b7f07d.png)

I want the months on x axis by adding same data  
like this
