Renaming Y axis label in chart with multiple measures

I have created a line chart with multiple metrics. My Y axis label is just a string of the names of the measures. I want to rename it to be one word , but I don't want to change the names of the measures as they are used in the legend. Is there any way for me to do this?

Hi @satoshist,

  • Under Format your visual > Visual > Y-axis, you'll see a group named Title, e.g.:dmp_0-1659404758909.png(note that my chart has multiple measures, and a concateneted title).

  • Expand the Title menu, and you'll see the Title Text property will have a placeholder of Auto, which is causing Power BI to concatenate your measure values:
    dmp_1-1659404890913.png

     

  • Change this to your desired value, e.g. $ Amount, and this will update the y-axis title to match, e.g.:
    dmp_2-1659404968610.png

     



Hopefully this is all you should need to do here. Good luck!

Daniel
