Good morning,
I am trying out the GAANT chart visual for the first time, is there anyway to reduce the excess horizontal scroll bar at the bottom? Everything is showing that I need but the bar is making it seem like its not.
Is there an easy way to change this x-axis to continuous to sort this in the settings?
Thanks!

Hello,@pigsinblankets. I am glad to help you.
I'm not sure if this is by design, as the issue you raised was preceded by a similar idea from another user:.
The x-axis dropdown bar exists at the bottom, but there is no way to hide or turn it off

@Anonymous @rajendraongole1 - Thank you both for your responses, I will try find a better Gaant chart visual to use for a possible solution 🙂
Hi @pigsinblankets - Can you please check at X-axis settings in the formatting pane of the Gantt chart visual.Depending on your data, adjust the granularity of the date axis. For example, change it from years to months or from months to weeks, so that the scroll bar better fits the visible data range.If you have unnecessary date segments, reducing this granularity could also help eliminate the excessive scroll bar.
In the formatting options of the Gantt chart, look for options such as inner padding or bar padding.Reducing the padding between items can help optimize the chart's layout, thus minimizing the appearance of unnecessary horizontal scroll bars.
