I am new to powerbi and i am trying to show + values in the axis but im unsure who to do this, can someone help?

From the image below you can see it stops at '0m' but i need to add '1m' '2m' as plus so we can see the increase.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Do you have valuews for 1m and 2m?  They should automatically be plotted and the axis adjust accordingly.

 

But, you can set the limits on the axis manually.  Select the visual and then in Formatting, open the Y Axis and you can enter a Start value for the axis.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Download PBIX file with examples shown below

 

The entire data set is given one color so you can't have different colors for positive and negative values.

 

The area chart doesn't appear to properly support Conditional Formatting for Data Labels either.

 

You could use something else like a Column Chart and use Conditional Formatting

I normally do this in the 'Data Colors' tab (see below, but i dont have the option to enter my own condition, is this something we cant do becasue the graph is a 'Area Chart'?
