Bug: Cannot change decimal precision of bars in line/bar charts when they both share the same value

I have a line and stacked column chart in my report. Both the Column values and the Line values share the same column value. Upon changing the decimal precision (by selecting the column field on the right hand side and changing the precision under Modeling -> Formatting), only the line graph number changes, as can be seen in the following picture where I set the precision to only one decimal place:

Only the lines respect the decimal formatting. If I switch to either a line chart or a bar chart, the issue is not present:

This issue is also not present if I change either the line or bars to be some other aggregation function. For example, in the original screenshot, both values are sums, but if I change one to be an average, this is no longer a problem:

In other words, the problem only seems to occur if and only if both the line and chart use the same column field, and the same type of aggregation.

 

Is there a way around this issue?

@fedpar Make sure the display untis for both Y-Axis (column) and Y-Axis (line) are set to None

 

You'll have to srcoll down - open the secondary menu - scroll down again... Look at the picture

 

Let me know if this takes care of it...

Just set them both to none, and the issue is still there.

What's the version of you Power BI Desktop?

 

As I tested, it works properly in April(2.34.4372.322) and May(2.34.4372.501) update.
