Remove horizontal scroll bar with hierarchy

[gsalas]

Hi Everyone,

The scrolling horizontal bar on charts is making me crazy!  Especially since the scroll bar defaults to the oldest data in the chart.  I can get the data to fit if I choose "continuous" under the x-axis options.  However, the scroll bar comes back if add a hierarchy to the x-axis by selecting more than on date measure.  So, for example, if all I have are individual dates as the x-axis and the type is continuous, all the data fits.  If, however, I convert the Date to a hierarchy or add "Week Ending" and "Month" to the shared axis box, the scrolling bar comes back for the lowest data points. 

ALSO, when I have a hierarchy on the shared axis, the x labels have become a combination of all the other hierarchy levels.  So "7/14/16" is written "July 7/11/16 7/14/16" "Month WeekEnding Date".  This is ridiculous because you don't need all those extra labels to know when 7/14/16 ocurred.  Also, all the extra characters in the data label make the chart impossible to read How do I clean up the x labels when there is a hierarchy??  So disappointed in how this feature is being executed by Power Bi.

In Power BI Desktop, when you adding any field into existing X-axis, it will always go back to oldest data position since it need to regenerate the axis. 

I can't reproduce your "combining labels" issue in my local environment. It just show each level labels on axis. My power bi desktop version is 2.36.4434.381.

But I suggest you always build hierarchy first then put entire hierarchy into axis of a visual. And you can enable drill down to check each level data.
