Zoom in a graph or something?

Hi,

I have plotted a line chart in my powerBi (May 2020) with:

 

Axis: date
Legend: Produkt
Values: price

 

But since dates have 360 days/year, is it possible to somehow, zoom in/out in the graph and see the product (price) development during a whole year? and therefore maybe can zoom in, if we see a large decreasing or increasing on the same graph in a month m? 

Any idea? 🙂 - expect slicers 😛 just to have a good overview.


Thanks!

@Anonymous - Some people have used a date slicer in order to "zoom" into a chart. Basically a slicer that limits the axis values.

I know it's old but I found it while looking for a solution.

 

Verify that your dates are actually treated as dates and not some other types (string being the usual suspect). When you use the date type, the x-axis automatically adjusts to your width.

@Anonymous , I doubt other than focus mode, no zooming option is available at the moment.

You can explore some custom visual.
