showing only few values on x-axis with xaxisopts with proc template

[TwanMandersSDCC]

Having a graph with bars for every month over a 4 year period there's too many values on the x-axis (sas dates) so i want to decrease the number of values on the x axis but still showing all bars on the charts. I tried this one in a proc template. But i still get alle months shown on the x-axis. Is there a way of doing it?

layout overlay / xaxisopts=( label=('Status måned')
griddisplay=on linearopts=( tickvaluelist=('01JAN2018'd '01JAN2019'd '01JAN2020'd '01JAN2021'd))
)
