Progressive Start Date In A Time Line Chart

Question

In a a time line chart start and finish dates are hard coded. &nbsp; If we have already delivered projects in the past and we only want to focus on what is coming up and show months/weeks ahead only, the start date has to be amended each time. &nbsp;Wondering if there was a way to have a dynamic start date so that it moves with the year progressing to avoid seeing &nbsp;blank columns for previous periods. &nbsp;Not too sure if there is an option.&nbsp;

Have the start date for the report or the "Progressive" start date be: &nbsp;Today()Then your report will be a little more dynamic.

Another way could be to link records by using Predecessor field so that you can have a more meaningful derived date field from a previous record which is already completed or in progress....the way you will do it for a project schedule and produce a gantt chart!

Thanks Matt. &nbsp;Unless I am not understanding,the 'starting date' in a timeline report is linked to a calendar and cannot be amended. &nbsp;
