in order to format the x-axis as a date,
need to convert the first column in the data table from a string to an actual date...

we can use a data view with a calculated column to convert the date...

var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data);
view.setColumns([{
  type: 'date',
  label: 'Date',
  calc: function (dt, row) {
    return new Date(dt.getValue(row, 0));
  }
}, 1]);

also, since the data is not in order by date, we can convert the view back to a data table and sort it...

data = view.toDataTable();
data.sort([{column: 0}]);

see following working snippet...

 google.charts.load('current', {'packages':['corechart']}); google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart); function drawChart() { var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([ ['Date', 'value'], [ "1/Jan/2017", 28 ], [ "5/Feb/2019", 174 ], [ "8/Mar/2017", 150 ], [ "2/Apr/2019", 174 ], [ "18/May/2019", 100 ], [ "22/Jun/2019", 5 ], [ "30/Jul/2019", 178 ], [ "28/Aug/2019", 59 ], [ "1/Sep/2019", 87 ], [ "10/Oct/2019", 50 ], [ "15/Nov/2019", 123 ], [ "20/Dec/2019", 108 ] ]); var view = new google.visualization.DataView(data); view.setColumns([{ type: 'date', label: 'Date', calc: function (dt, row) { return new Date(dt.getValue(row, 0)); } }, 1]); data = view.toDataTable(); data.sort([{column: 0}]); var options = { chartArea: {bottom: 56}, title: 'Company Performance', hAxis: {format: 'MMM', title: 'Date', titleTextStyle: {color: '#333'} }, curveType: 'function', legend: { position: 'bottom'}, pointSize: 5, dataOpacity: 0.5, vAxis: {minValue: 0} }; var chart = new google.visualization.AreaChart(document.getElementById('chart_div')); chart.draw(data, options); }
