Set default x axis scrolling position

Enable selection of the default scroll position for the x-axis on a chart. For example, on a line chart with dates as the x-axis, when not all of the data can display in the view at once, the scroll defaults to the beginning/left end of the x-axis and the most recent dates are at the far end causing the end user to always have to scroll to see the most recent data. If you could set the visual to default to the right end, then the user would only have to scroll if they wanted to see more history.

This is very important for displaying time series data along an expanded x-axis. Users should be able to see the very latest data added to a line chart without needing to scroll to the right to find it.

I would love to see this feature implemented ASAP.

This is a really large missing feature. Not just for charts, but for tables and matrixes as well.


My audience are going to be focused on the most recent month's data, but need to be able to scroll back.


To address what you might be thinking - no, sorting descending and reversing the order is fundamentally inacceptable.

I would consider this feature critical, BI competitors implemented this a long time ago.

Get 'er done, Microsoft.

This will become more and more important as Power BI is used for different types of dashboard

If you have a column chart with many time-points on the x-axis then a scroll bar appears on the bottom of the visual. Normally you order your x-axis in a way that the most recent dates appear to the right (at least in countries where you use to write from left to right). If you want to see the most recent dates, you always need to scroll to the right. (Alternatively, reorder, so that the most recent dates are on the left. However, this is counter-intuitive in many regions.) It would be great if you could configure the scroll bar in a way that it is nestled either to the left or to the right end of the x-axis.

Make optional the starting position of the scroll bar for a line chart so that when the visual is first viewed the user sees the data at the far right.

With date series charts that don't entirely fit within the visual frame the scroll bar appears but the chart begins at the earliest date.


It would be fantastic to have the option to start the chart from the right / most recent date instead

when I have large charts with many months the chart starts its scrolling from the left, I want to align it on the right by default. so based on my most recent month not the oldest.
