When the DateTimeOptions.Format property is set to Custom, use the FormatString property, to specify a custom format for the date-time options (of axis labels, series point labels or the legend).

The following image demonstrates implementation of a quarterly formatting for the X-axis’ labels.

And, a monthly format is depicted below.

Standard date-time format specifiers for composing various format patterns are described in the Date and Time Format Strings topics in MSDN.
