Dynamic format string works but not on Y-axis

Hello,

 

As you see, the dynamic format string works when I put the measure on a table, but it doesn't when I put it on a line chart!

 

I tried to switch Display values to None, but it doesn't work either.

 

 

Thanks

 

  • Hi Sab 
    You are right, I forgot that sometimes we need it in this way.
    If You change the scale for logarithmic, formatting  works on labels, maybe just don't use the Y axis:

    and of course, you can report the Y-axis issue as an issue or idea:

    In this case, it is a feature, not a bug.
    Simple graphs cannot have different units on the same axis.

    It is only used for displaying values in a dynamic format.

    Due to proportional issues
    It is simply impossible to fit thousands and millions onto one axis, for instance.

    This is why it is aligned with some common camps on the graph

  • It's not a feature, rather it's a bug.

     

    It should display like this:

     

     

    I have the axis on a logarithmic scale so it makes sense to have custom labels on it
