Hi everyone,
I'm sure there's a simple solution to this, but I'm new to this BI thing, so help me out, please.
How do I get rid of this dotted line showing around the main area? I've tried Format in Visualizations, but nothing 😞

This wasn't there earlier. What is it even supposed to do?
Good question! In my opinion, it just takes the focus away from the charts and should not be there at all.
Thank you, Y! It works!!
