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
