Line Chart Width Optimization

In the latest version PowerBI desktop, Line Chart width cannot be squeezed shorter to accomodate the page design unless sacrificing part of data visibility/granularity.

 

It was available to do so in a much simpler way in previous version. Please suggest.

Hello @Eric_W_Lee 

 

Try these 

 

 

 

 

1. Turn Off Padding

→ Format pane → General → Properties → Set Padding = 0 px

 

 

2. Reduce Data Granularity

→ Aggregate data to weekly or monthly to avoid overcrowding

 

 

3. Adjust Chart Elements

→ Hide/move legend, reduce label font, hide axis titles/gridlines

 

 

4. Try Custom Visuals

→ Use line charts from AppSource (e.g., MAQ, ZoomCharts) with better control

 

 

5. Use Bookmark Toggle

→ Show compact vs. full chart views using bookmarks + buttons

 

 

6. Use Small Multiples

→ Break into smaller charts for each category to save space
