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.

RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
This is an excellent suggestion and a MUCH needed feature to ensure an improved user experience.
We see applications where we want a default to a specific starting point, such as hard right or centered on the current date. which would dramatically improve the usability of Power BI visualizations.
Bring on the votes!!
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
Please add this feature. It is such a simple feature that would make all scrolling charts instantly more user-friendly.
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
We also desperately need it!
Would be an amazing improvement for us
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
Desperately need this feature!
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
Please add this so my users don't have to scroll through five years of data to see the most recent year
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
That feature would help us a lot in our day to day business
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
Is not logical to be forced to scroll right to see latest dates when they are not fit in the plot area. You probably have more interest to see the latest dates. Of course without resign to have all dates and see the oldest ones scrolling if needed.
So we need it
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
Being able to control things like this will be a great improvement.
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
I have had a number of key users request this feature so it appears to be an important and logical request.
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
This would pretty enhance the usability and readability of reports and especially of Dashboards where the line charts are very small and it is unconvenient to scroll all the way to the right! I just do not understand why this is not already an option because sorting dates from left to right beginning with the most recent is so irritating that it is not a real option
