    Hi BA123456  , for Y axis, if you keep it as Auto, then Power BI will plot the axis which may not be always based on your max value. To resolve this, you need to create a measure.For this, I took a small dataset like below:

     

    Then created a measure:

    Max Val per Country =
    VAR _max = SUMMARIZE(Chart, Chart[Period].[Month], "Max_Val", SUM(Chart[Volume]))
    RETURN
    MAXX(_max, [Max_Val]) * 1.2
     
    What this measure does is, based on your slicer selection, it first group by months and then identifies the max value for all the given months. I think for your case, you can replace Chart[Period].Month with your year value. Then once the Max value we have, then simply multiply that with 1.2 factor to make the max level 120% of max value. You may change this factor based on your data.
     
    After that, add that measure in y-axis max value.
     

     

     

     


    If this helps to resolve your problem then please mark it as solution.

    Thanks - Samrat

    Hi BA123456  use the measure and guideline suggested by samratpbi

    Only ensure 2 decimal places for values, since your values are less than 1 million. 

     

    Thanks
