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 Enhancement needs to be done and ready for August roll out. I get more and more requests on this... people want to read to the most recent data period or at least from latest data and 13 weeks back o 13 points back

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!!

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

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

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

Being able to control things like this will be a great improvement.
