Scroll bar in chart

[Sujit_Thakur]

Dear all,

I made a report 7 days ago which only had 3 days data.

It consists of a bar chart showing values of a field with dates on x axis.

My question is what if  in the barchart the data is shown for 30 days?

Is there any way a to add a scrollbar in the x-axis so that x axis does not seem crowded

Hello @Sujit_Thakur

Change the X axis type to Categorical, then you could increase the minimum width of the X axis category, now you will have a scroll bar on the X axis.

Best regards

Hi! Is there a way to visualize always the last part of the scrollbar? PowerBI automatically resets it to the beginning when changing filters for istance.. it's annoying as I am showing a WoW trendline and I want to see latest weeks, not initials.

hi  @Sujit_Thakur 

Do you increase Minimum category width of X-axis in the formatting pane?
