Axes settings

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new to Power BI and I'm wondering about the setting options for the axes. I feel like there is only a view options to adjust them (for example compared to visualizations in Excel) but maybe i'm missing something. For example: Is it possible to set the inner padding? I've seen this option in a few tutorials, but it seemed like they've used an older version of Power BI Desktop - at least my version looks very different.

My options (in german but just to show you how different it looks):

Thanks for your help!

Thank you! 

But is it right that for other kind of graphs like line diagrams there is no possibility to andjust the distance between the values of the x and y axes? For example showing me every other number instead of only every tenth number, just like here:

Hi @leaha ,

 

I think you are using "Continuous" in Axis format. As far as I know, if you use "Continuous", Power BI will display Axis in the group automaticlly and we could not change it.

If you want to show all values in Axis, I suggest you to try to chang the x-axis to "Categorical" instead of "Continuous".

 

Best Regards,
