Bar Chart Y-axes

Hi

 

I can't change my Y axes from percentage, I just want to show the count.

 

 

I have tried to change the column to number, text, decimal number but no luck

 

Best regards

 

Tony

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • This happens because the visual is either set to "Show as Percentage" or has automatically switched to a 100% Stacked Bar/Column Chart. In Power BI, any 100% stacked chart always shows the Y-axis as a percentage, no matter what type of data you have. That’s why changing the column’s data type didn’t help.

     

    Make sure you are NOT using:

    100% Stacked Column Chart AND 100% Stacked Bar Chart

    AND Switch to  Clustered Column Chart, OR Clustered Bar Chart

  • TonyHansson , it may happen because the format at the visual or element level is set. You need to check that 

    Y-Axis - Value -> Format

     

    That should correct, also check, if needed Property-> format 

     

  • Hi TonyHansson ,

    could it be that you have choosen one of the "stacked to 100%" charts? Another reason could be an option at your y-xis value as shown below:
