Unbelievable. I've been looking for a way to change granularity for weeks. Thanks a lot for this tip, even if this incomplete. I still don't understand why GA4 lacks so much features from UA, but it's a massive disappointment...
You’re welcome. And yes, a lot of people aren’t happy with GA4 in its current state. There are a lot of cool things you can do with its new measurement model, but the product team at Google really dropped the ball on ease of use and basic functionality like chart granularity. I have another video on my channel about customising reports that may also be of interest to you.
Unfortunately Google hasn't released support for monthly charts yet (no idea why), and you can only apply hourly, daily or weekly granularity to charts in data explorations. But seeing as the "monthly" option is available (but ghosted), I think it will be available at a later date
I get the sentiment/frustration. The transition to GA4 from UA has been rocky and the Google product team definitely sacrificed a lot of ease-of-use for advanced measurement features that only power users need. It's unfortunate, but at the same time, the learning curve to make sense of and get value from GA4 is still probably lower than moving to a paid alternative.

A big THANKS, at last I see it.
You’re welcome!
Absolutely fantastic thanks so much
You are very welcome
Watched a 10 minute video and still no answer for how to show monthly granularity! Disappointing from Google ☹
