How to add horizontal and vertical scroll bars to power bi desktop visuals

Hello

 

I have got a stacked column chart  visual in power bi desktop. I wanted to know whether is there a possibility to add horizondal scroll bar to include more data? From the snapshot you can see the visual has data from Apr to Sep 2021. However I wanted to include data for Nov and Dec 2021 and I don't want to expand the visual each time I add data instead add a  horizondal scroll bar so that  so all data can be viewed within the visual using the scroll bar. Is that possible? Any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

To others still searching, adding more width in:  bar chart -> format -> x axis-> layout, also adds a default scroll bar to the charts x axis :
