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.

Having this functionality would be very useful.

It's very sad having to conclude that since 2020, Microsoft stiil seem to not even be a little ashamed by this obvious omission. The request is so basic and logical that we shouldn't even have to bring it up but as it seems, we have to keep adressing it as a necessary option so we do: please Microsoft, wake up and fix this now!

Very useful since the total column is also on the right

השינוי הזה יעזור מאוד לטבלאות ומבני נתונים שנבנים בשפות שנכתבות ונקראות מימין לשמאל.המשתמשים שלנו רגילים לצרוך את המידע מימין לשמאלThis change is significant to the Hebrew language and every language that is being read from right to left, As our clients are used to read from right to left.
