Bar chart scroll till the end

[Applicable88]

Hello,

it sounds like a simple thing, but I really didn't find anything about it. 

Is it possible that a bar chart by default always starts at the end of the date dimension and not the beginning?

Its a little bit annoying for the user to always need to scroll until the end to see whats up today. Using a "fixed" filter on the filter panel on the otherhand will automatically filter everything out which still needs to be seen. 

Thank you in advance.

Best.

@Applicable88 ,

You can sort the bar chart in descending order. For more details - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-change-sort

@SivaMani , thats very unfortunate to solve it like that. For othere dimension it might be okay, but for Date dimensions its an unsual view.

@Applicable88, Okay. Can you share your current visual and how you wanted to change it?

Hello @SivaMani thanks for your effort.

Here an example of data that reach back to  2017/2018:

Year and calendar week you can see here. And at the bottom you can see scrolled to the end until todays european calendarweek of 2021/25.

When the user is opening the chart/report it always starts at the very beginning. The only thing I could do so far is to limit it with the fixed "filter panel" where I limit the length of data using relativ time of "last 6 months":

For instance when the user wants to see older than last 6 month its not possible anymore. So I would prefer to have all time range in there, but the chart starts at the newest dat on the right side.  Using a workaround to make the order descending from left is really unsual for the eyes, since no report in the cooperate business would do so, with time dimension. 

Best.

Hi， @Applicable88 

Sorry, PowerBI currently does not support setting the default scroll position.

If the time range covered on the x-axis is very long, you can consider adding a slicer for manual filtering. The custom visual "Timeline 2.4.0" would be a good choice.You can filter data for a period of time through this slicer (based on year/month/week/day)
