What You seem to be looking for is an auto-scaling feature which I
don't believe has been yet implemented.

Scientifically is correct that if you specify a range of x rows, the
graphic makes room for all af them, even if empty, because if they are
in the range, their data has to be considered (even null).

By the way it's an interesting point of view and could be suggested as
a new feature to be added as an option for instance, I think, because
it could be useful as well.

What I can tell You to solve this, for the moment, is to double click
into the graphic to go editing it, and then double click the Date's
axis. Now You can specify in the first Tab (Scale) the Maximum Value,
avoiding the Automatic Option. In this way it will render just the
portion of Data You'll need.

It still requires to edit the graphic, but I think it's surely better
and faster than having to modify the Data Values Area. And I think You
could do this once a quad, leaving not too much blank space at the end
of the graphic.

I really hope to have been useful for You and all people reading, and
also to have aimed a good solution without forgetting other ones which
could have been simpler.
