Doubt with labeling ticks x-axis

[Juan Carlos]

Hello again colleagues,

Last time Ali Atia and Nick Cox helped me fix the x-axis labels. Now I am doing it with monthly data (with what I learned from them) and the result I get is half-baked.

I want to enclose the months and year with the thicks but it gets over set as the series advances in the month of December. I thought I could move it .5 to make it fit but I don't know why doing this makes the whole chart chaotic. Am I doing something wrong by trying to make it monthly?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I leave you what I did to explain myself better

Greetings!!!

I found my error, the problem was in the variable that I initially had as date. I generated it again and the graph comes out as I want.

Greetings!!!
