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
Absolutely, hope we can get this feature soon
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.
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
We need it!!
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
Agreed - this enhancement would be an excellent enhancement to the tool.
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
Choice of default scroll bar placement, either left-hand side or right-hand side of x-axis, much needed for dates dimensions.
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
Please, I need this!
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
This is a no-brainer, only scroll to the left to see history.
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
+1 for this to be implemented by MS, but does anyone know of a way to extend PBI to do this ourselves?
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
We are tyring to migrate from Grafana to Power BI and the absence of this feature was one of the very negative surprises in Power BI. In most (if not all) live charts, where time is on X axis, the user is primarily interested to see the latest status, so the most natural display is the current time position visible in the chart. Note that this feature should be available in general, not only for time - for example, we have cases, where on X axis are build identifiers, but they are in fact events happening in time, and the user naturally wants to see the last builds, when he opens the chart.
RE: Set default x axis scrolling position
I do not understand why this is already not implemented?
Could we get going on this, thanks.
