Charts with too many values ignore the most important fields

[vdburg]

Hi,

A Power Bi chart when it has too many values it just ignores some label fields and shows the rest giving a very different perspective of the data that could lead to very misleading conclusions.

This is the same chart with the only difference that in the upper chart it has a field in the X axis and in the second one it hasn´t any field.

So, I can understand that when a chart has too many labels it should ignore some of them, but not the ones with most values!!

I am almost sure that this has already been reported but I couldn´t find any related threat

Hi @vdburg

There is one important option called Overflow text. It displays all labels even if there was no enough place for that.

Maybe it will solve your problem...

Hi @CR,

No, unfortunately that doesn´t fix the problem

Well, in that case I invite you to use another visual, or to display the data through a table. I always have this case with my dashboard. Everybody wants a bar chart (beautiful and nice) but I switch to a simple table when it is not suitable, especially when percentages are very different and numerous.

Hi @CR,

Sure, I can use other workarounds as well. But if I am not doing nothing wrong I consider this a big bug because end users don´t usually look at the information icon and can get to very wrong conclusions just because the power BI team didn´t think of not showing the less important values instead of the most important when too many values.

@vdburg,

You may try adding a slicer or visual level filters.
