Line chart range

Here is an example line chart that has dates for a whole year.

I don't want the graph to show all the dates because it makes the graph look messy. I want the entire data in the graph but I don't want it to show all the dates, so instead I would like to show a date range, maybe first available date of everything month or two dates of a particular month .. see 'example of line chart date range' jpeg

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

you can define how many values will be displayed in your chart. Go to properties > Presentation > check the option "Enable the X-axis scrollbar" > then type the number of dates you want to visualize at once.

Just to mention, it used to be a bug where this option didn't work if you typed a 10 in this option. However, I think it has been solved, but just take this in mind,

Hi,

try with continuous dimension axis:

Jaime - thanks for the feedback but unfortunately, I do not want a scroll bar at all. I want to be able to see all the data but I don't want to see ALL the dates on the graph, just one or two dates per month.

Marco - this seems to work ok but when I select all the weeks, it only shows the 1 date for every two months. Is there any way we can select the amount of dates we want to see in one month?

In the picture that you attached, I would like to see 9/1/2014 AND 9/15/2014 AND 10/1/2014 and 10/15/2014 and so forth but still want to see all the data
