Is there a way to stop the new Timeline control looking comically big?

Its a nice control but **bleep** it's big.  It takes up more than a third of the report.  It's got tiny little font but a huge chunky date bar.

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my test in Power BI desktop version 2.40.4554.463, the TimeLine visual can be resized, it needn't to occupy lots of space. If the date bar is wider than the visual width, the horizontal scroll bar will generate automatically for us to drag horizontally to select different date ranges. See:

Also we can change the font size of date labels, see:

The issue is the vertical space it takes up.  There is no way to remove the Y-Q-M-W-D picker - and if you click down to 'D', it adds multiple labels under '2014'.  This takes up further vertical space.  I'd say that it takes up about 40% of the vertical space on my report !

Hi @Anonymous,

I agree with you that it would be better to add more options for us to hide Y-Q-M-W-D picker and change date labels to display horizontally instead of vertically.

For your requirement, you can send your feedback to Power BI Custom Visuals Support alias: pbicvsupport@microsoft.com.

I'd love to see more options added.  I'd rather not allow my users to drill down to day.  And I'd like to make the bar quite thin and sleek.  The whole control could be squeezed into a pretty tight space.
