Clustered Column Chart Logarithmic Scale Issue

Dear Power BI Representative,

I have a clustered column chart that allowed for logarithmic scaling for a field with a datatype of currency and uncategorized value.  When I also had a clustered column chart that allowed for logarithmic scaling for a field with a datatype of currency based on a summation as an uncategorized value.  For some reason I have lost the ability to set this second  clustered column chart x axis a logarithmic.  Is there a parameter that requires correction?  I do not understand why it erased the option to do a logarithmic operation. Please advise.

 

Thank you.

Hi Super User IV,

I figured it out after reading an article indicating if the value falls to less than or equal to 0 then it automatically defaults to linear and will not allow the logarithmic scale.  Thank you for your assistance in this matter since for a time it was very puzzling.

@lt79_Pax , Can you share a screenshot with Scale type property. If you are using line clustered visual , you will not get log option
