    Hi visheshjain , 
    You are right, the continuous and categorical options are deprecated, and instead been replaced by other options like the logarithmic scale: 

    In regards to your original problem of the Visual not having a scroll bar, I believe that's due to the data for the 3 years from Jan 2020 to July 2022 fitting in that space. I tried to manipulate a similar behavior in a test file and see what caused and created the scroll bar on a Clustered Column Chart. The only thing that seemed to affect the presence of a scroll bar is the overall size of your Visual chart and the spacing between the columns / bars of your visual. If you increase the size of your bars / columns, you will see that the visual will need more space and automatically include a horizontal scroll bar to that effect. 

    Unfortunately the only way right now to "fix" the presence of scroll bar is to manipulate the "Spacing" setting in the "Column" format settings. 

    Hope this helps, tag me (@) if you need more help on it. Feel free to mark the answer as a solution if it helped you.
    Thanks!

Hi visheshjain - okay that is odd.  This is what I am seeing in the Aug-22 version.  A couple of consideration:

  • It a Custom Visual?
  • Is it not "technically" a Date dimension, you are using.  Could it be text, or a non-date table date field?

Hi Anonymous,

 

No it is not a custom visual.

 

It is a text column, but it is from my calendar table and sorted using a Year Month Key.

My calendar table is 'Marked as Date Table' as well.

The same thing is done in my old file as well, and the scroll bar shows up.

 

I have checked with my old file as well, which has a scroll bar, even in that in the formatting pane I cannot see categorical and continuos options.

 

Thank you,

Vishesh Jain
