area chart , show more datapoint

I have an area chart.  The x-axis is year, Month, Day, hour, minute.  That means 1440 data point per date.  When user selects date Range for 1 months, you could image user has to roll many many time to even roll over 1 day of data.  User cares the trend and not necessary care actual data of every minute.  If user want to get detail of the exactly data in a given minute, the default Tooltips do the job already

 

Is there a way I can "narrow" or compact the chart so it show more datapoint?  I don't want to skip datapoint to loss any data.

Hi @fushan ,

 

If your customer care the trend and not necessary care actual data of every minute, I think they could drill up the hierachy level from minute to up levels like hour or day.

For reference:

Hi Rico . thanks for suggestion.  That is not idea.  The Y-axis value is base on minute ( average amount per minute ).  if drill up, the y-axis value becomes SUM of all 60 average amount per min.  That seems not really make sense for me.
