Change y-axis range back to auto

Hi All,

 

I have a stacked column chart and previously I have set the y-axis range to 3000. I now want to change it back to auto. I have tried deleting the '3000' but it remains. How do I achieve this?

I would just recreate it, but I have many tabs I need to do the same with, so if there is an easy way I'd be really happy!

 

Thanks

  • Hi AmyD, as the others already said - you usually just have to delete the value from the "Maximum"-field. If it gets stuck for whatever reason and that's the only setting you changed in the Y-Axis-pane, you can also use "Reset to default" to reset everything to auto:

  • Hi AmyD 

    In Power BI, to reset the Y-axis range back to Auto after manually setting a value:

    1. Select the visual (your stacked column chart).

    2. Go to the Visualizations pane >> Y-axis >>Range >> Start / End.

    3. If you see a fixed value like 3000, click inside the box and delete the number, then press Enter or Press outside of the box - make sure the box is completely blank (not 0).

    4. Once blank, Power BI automatically reverts the axis range to Auto.

      Thank you! Yes, it was getting stuck but the resetting helped 🙂 

  • AmyD , You can just remove the number from Maximum range and leave it blank and hit enter so it will go to "Auto".
