Option to allow dynamic axes on charts - allow an option in chart setup to allow the axies to change dynamically based on the values within - the start and end of an axis are fixed, despite values changing when filters are applied

RE: dynamic axis scaling

For line graphs it would be great to be able to change the axis using a slicer. Particularly when using the Play Axis as the Y-axis in a line chart does dynamically change, which is great when you look at it as an animation.

RE: dynamic axis scaling

Would be great to have the option of dynamic axes on charts for better visualization of graphics.

RE: dynamic axis scaling

What about using parameterized / dynamic scaling where the upper / lower limits and interval step can be set via DAX formula based on measure(s) being plotted against either first or second y-axis?

Another option would be to allow use of parameter slicer where user could select upper/lower limits on vertical axes

RE: dynamic axis scaling

I am trying to move others in the organization from Excel graphs to using Power BI but the biggest concern people have is that the charts do not look similar. One example is that they cannot manually choose the interval levels on the y-axis.

Agree! This would be a great idea!

RE: dynamic axis scaling

It would also be great to be able to change the axis scale interval resolution / gradation as well as the start and end points.

RE: dynamic axis scaling

I want the Bar chart Y-axis ito behave the same as a line chart when the 'Start' is set to auto. Currently it always stays at zero. I would prefer to use a line chart, but that doesn't have visual interaction filters like the bar chart does.
