That is confusing, apologies.  Here is my follow up from the other thread.

 

Thank you for the response.  I am not looking to drill down into a time heirarchy.  I would like to show all entries on the X-axis, but responsive to window size of the chart.  I pulled the data into Excel, and was able to achieve my result.

 

 

When I resize the Excel chart, it will still show me all the data points.  Perhaps not as granular, but I am only interested in the trend.  In Power BI, the chart does not "condense" the results.  It adds a scroll bar and I must scroll to see all results.

 

Does this help?

 

Thanks,

 

- Nate

Hi Nate,

 

If you are only interest in the trend. Why not changing the type of X-axis to Continuous and the visual will be condensed.

If you still want this feature, please create an idea here.
