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)
Please add this feature, it is often necessary to track the micro-movements of a KPI and therefore having a customizable scale would be most beneficial.

RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
In general the Power BI dev team is SO much more responsive...but this one seems like a no-brainer. Why no sauce yet?
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
It is crazy that this extremely basic functionality is not available, regardless of the fact this issue was raised in 2016!
It is the basic issues like this that make people nervous about using Power BI over traditional tools.
Can we combine this request/votes with the below and get this issue sorted ASAP, please?

RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
Please add this functionality. It is a basic requirement to customise the axis which is easily possible in excel graphs.
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
Very needed, I dont want to give my boss seizure when he will see two values on different ends of chart because there is staggering difference of 0.5%
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
I want this to very much.
RE: Axis with configurable units (/Interval)
Why this basic charting funcationality wasnt included in the initial release is odd :/

There is also another post asking for the same thing, so we are closer to 400 votes for this.
