It would be a good addition to have the ability to link charts together so that they show the same scale on the Y-axis. So when there are two bar or stacked bar charts on one page a bar of a certain height always means the same. That will make it easier for the user to compare.

RE: same scale for charts on same page
It is a bug that needs fixing. In one stacked bar chart the height of the bar is 1.5 inches and in another after slicing the height of the same stacked bar chart is 1.2 inches. The height of the stacked bar chart is not fixed across slicing.
RE: same scale for charts on same page
Very much a required feature for any dashboarding tool.
RE: same scale for charts on same page
Locking the Y (or sometimes X) axis of two or more charts is super important! One of the main uses of good analytics is a COMPARISON to something else. If the user can't compare, or might make a bad comparison, because two axes are auto-scaled to be different this is a huge problem. When the data is at all dynamic, limiting the max value is not a practical substitute.
RE: same scale for charts on same page
This will give a lot of value to Power BI! projects are not being made because of this limitation.
RE: same scale for charts on same page
This feature would be highly desirable. Is there any plan to implement this in the near future?
RE: same scale for charts on same page
I agree, especially for dynamic y axis, where I don't want to force the max/min to be a constant value, but I still hope to always have same scale for all charts.
RE: same scale for charts on same page
Or the ability to set the scale via a field. For example, if the query can determine the min and max scale needed, then setting the Start and End on all to those values would work.
RE: same scale for charts on same page
Similarly, we often use the Bar and Line charting, and would like the ability for both the bar and lines to have the same Y-axis scaling. As indicated in the other comments, this will make the graphs much easier for users to read and understand.
