Hello everyone,
As mentioned in the title, in this blog I want to show you how to avoid scrolling the x-axis horizontally especially when you only have a limited space for your charts like the photo shown below. I met this problem while creating a sales dashboard and wanted to show the key metrics along with a line chart showing its changes over time. As you can see, all of the line charts require to be scrolled to the right to see all months values. The reason behind this is because when you create the line chart and take the Month column from your Date table for the x-axis, each data point for the months now is treated as one category (discrete). To fix this problem, we want to make it continuous so that our x-axis will be shown fully without the need of scrolling horizontally.

After looking up on the community, I realised a lot of people also encountered the same problem and not many could give an easy and straightforward solution. At the end, I finally came across a Youtube short clip and found it very helpful. If you prefer to follow the instruction by watching the clip, you can find it here. Otherwise, you can follow the steps I’m outlining as follow:

Step 1 – Create a new table (New table)

Step 2 – Type in this following DAX formula:

And that’s all. I hope you found this helpful. See you in the next blog !
