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 will be very helpful - and seems to me like 'low hanging fruit'

RE: Set default x axis scrolling position

How this has already been overseen for so long given what it is, is a mystery to me.

RE: Set default x axis scrolling position

Great idea. At the least, the default position should be scrolled all the way to the right to shown Newest dates. Current default has the scrollbar all the way in the left-most position showing old dates.

RE: Set default x axis scrolling position

Definitely a requirement for me. Especially since we cannot make the chart display the entire time line like Excel does.
