Mini-Charts in Tables: Normalize the X-Axis

The Ask: 

Add support for setting the X-Axis to Local or Global so the data can align when appropriate.

Description:

The addition of mini charts is awesome!   Great control, but the one thing missing... and it is critical, is the ability to normalize the X-Axis across the table rows.

This is much like the ability to normalize the Y-Axis so you can compare from row-to-row.   The ability to compare values relative to the X-Axis is just, if not more important. 

In the example below, I have Sales over YearMonth, yet as I move down the rows I have lots of sales per month for some countries and other countries with just a few months (or less) of Sales.   I have no idea how the data points align from row-to-row.   Are Thailand's two periods of sales consecutive periods of sales?  Are they several months apart?  An old territory that hasn't purchased product for years? Or a brand new territory with that has only been selling since last month?

If the X-Axis data points could, like the Y-Axis, be set to Local or Global that would really enhance the analytic value of the mini-charts!

Thank you for your feedback on ways to improve our product. While this is something we understand would be useful, it's not on the short-term roadmap. Please continue to show your support for this idea.

As a workaround it is possible to force all x axis values by adding + sum({1} 0) to the expression, works as of November 2020.

Thanks,
Patric
