Button to toggle visual axis Count vs Count (Distinct)
Is there a way to add a button to a visual page to make the axes for the visuals on the page (stacked bars in my case) switch between Count and Distinct Count?
j1s Yes, you can create 2 visuals and 2 buttons and stack them. Create 2 bookmarks using the Bookmarks pane along with the Selection pane to toggle between the visuals and buttons. Tie these bookmarks to the buttons.

Hi j1s
Greg_Deckler Thank you for sharing!
Yes, you can achieve your goals by creating bookmarks and buttons.
Here are the details, please try:
First, you need to create two versions of your stacked bar visual - one using Count and the other using Distinct Count. Ensure these are placed exactly on top of each other on your report page.
Next, create two bookmarks in Power BI - one for each visual state (Count and Distinct Count). Make sure to hide one visual and show the other for each bookmark accordingly.
Finally, insert a button on your report page that users can click to toggle between the two bookmarks (and thus, between Count and Distinct Count).
By following these steps, you'll effectively create a toggle mechanism on your report page, allowing users to switch the visual's axis between Count and Distinct Count with a simple click.

Thanks, any reason you're not advocating using the bookmark navigator button option, rather than creating and configuring normal buttons?
