Original Pull Request: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/5641

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Purpose of this feature

My budget data goes back to 2015, but some charts only have meaningful entries starting from 2018. I use live ranges to keep charts up to date, but there's currently no way to set a custom start date and use live ranges - it's just "all time":

This results in charts cluttered with empty space. That’s where the option to Trim intervals comes in. It automatically removes empty periods from the beginning and end of the report, making the charts cleaner. This is more flexible than just adding a start date to the live range because it also works on end dates where there is no data (trimming end intervals).

Below are some examples.

Before (intervals at start show as empty)

After:

Empty intervals at start are trimmed

Trims the empty intervals at the start and end
trims end

Preserves empty intervals in the middle of the dataset
preserves empty intervals in middle

Trims the intervals via the grouped-spreadsheet
table
