    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
