Measure Not Working on Line Chart Y-Axis Maximum

Hi Power BI Experts, I could use some help with a DAX and visual interaction issue:

I'm trying to create a dynamic Y-axis maximum for a line chart that responds to different levels of date granularity. Here's the measure I created:

The intention is to return a different maximum value based on the current date level selected via bookmark navigation (week, month, or year).

When I use this measure in a matrix visual, it works perfectly—returning the expected values when switching between date levels using the bookmark navigator.

However, when I try to apply this same measure to the Y-axis Maximum range via Conditional Formatting on a line chart, it doesn’t respond at all. The value remains static, regardless of which date granularity is selected.

Is there any workaround to get this formula to work?

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but one of ways to achieve this is to use field parameter feature.

Y-Axis Max limit: = 
SWITCH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( prm_x_axis[title_sort] ), 
0, 10, 
1, 20, 
2, 30 
)
