Configurable option of Units (Interval) for the axis in a graph. Now PowerBI automatically choices to units between values on the size of the graph and the data. As an example with a small graph and values ranging from minus -200 and +400 the unit PowerBI choices to use is 200. In this example data becomes hard to understand. If there is an option to set a unit on the axis, we could improve visibility if the automatic one doesn’t fill the needs. In the example we could set the unit of the y-axis to 50, this will increase the number of values on the y-axis.
Maybe the number of labels will increase on the y-axis and not enough space to put them. So I can imagine design team wants to make the label part dynamic? But the graph axis lines based on the value put.

RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
This is sorely needed and very basic
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
Like duh, this should be an option!
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
If I could pick a single thing to add, it would be what Excel had 25 years ago, INTERVALS to be able to be set!!! The lack of information on the axis and not having Minor and Major intervals is astounding.
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
My goodness why does this basic capability even need to be requested? Hard to sell this tool internally missing such basic things.
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
Voting for something basic and important!
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
I keep having to go back to Excel in order to use this very important function for viewing. This was requested in 2016, please can we get this function. If Excel can do it then so should PowerBI
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
How does Excel have this feature but PowerBI does not?
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
Control over charts in Power BI should be at least as comprehensive as it is in Excel. Basic line charts in PBI are terrible - you can't display the axis lines, change scaling, and many other things. They look like charts in the DOS version of Lotus 123. Please consider improving chart capabilities to the level Excel has had for decades.
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
Please we need it
