Build Visuals

I need some help! When I go to build my visual in PBI the "Values" box is missing. Small multiples has taken its place. How can I get "Values" back" so I can build my visuals? I am sure it is an easy xfix but I am VERY frustrated!

  • I believe the Values box has been renamed to be the Y-Axis

    Thanks for your reply. 

    You're right - It seems that the "Values" has been replaced by the "Y-Axis".  It makes sense, really since in vertical graphs the values you are interested in a described or measured on the Y axis. This seems to be a recent change.  I wish Msft had some sort of pop-up or additional description that indicated next to "Y-Axis" that is was alled "Values".   For horizontal graphs things are just reveresed - the detail you are measuring in (formerly "Values") would now be the 'X-Axis".

      Hi QMYork ,

      May I ask what type of visual you are using? You seem to be using the new Format pane, where the Y axis option corresponds to the original Values option.

      Old Format pane

      New Format pane

      Best Regards

        I seems I am using the new format pane.  I am not sure how I switched - perhaps a product update?  I just turned it one day and the format pane had changed.  I do see now that the "Y-Axis" serves as the "Values" feature did in the past.  I understand why that works as well; it makes sense. 

        I would hope that changes like this would be supported with some type of "screen tip" or "tool tip" to illuminate this to the novice user like me.
