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.

I am not interested in Continuous because it interpolates.  It sounds like Power BI is not able to have a responsive line chart in the "Categorical" X-Axis Type yet, and that's fine.  I can pull my data into Excel and get my result with the "Text Axis" type in Excel.

 

Thanks.
