Basic Chart Question

Dumb question, but is there a way to hide the white space on a chart when the x-axis type is continuous?

Hi @PieInDaFace,

 

It is not possible to remove the space between column bars which is caused by blank values in some certain date/time. You could try RolandsP's suggestio, change the X-axis type from continuous to categorical.

You could define Data type for X-axis values to Date. It seems that it is Date/time at moment. That should narrow down the white space.

But I would recommend using Categorical x-axis since you have very few data points.
