Hello All, Need your suggestion-   I have a scatter graph with X & Y axis. Say, I have building and vehicle on X & Y axis respectively. Now I need to change those dynamically to theft and robbery....

I can feel your frustration ... your problem is basically the same I posted in this thread;

 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Scatter-Chart-dynamic-X-and-Y-axis-title/td-p/317425

 

There are some hacks/workarounds, but they are not really satisfactory. Having the axis titles change depending on the dataset are basic functionality in many other BI tools.

 

I posted an idea here, but I have a feeling this is not Microsoft's priority:

    Thanks JohnP

     

    I will go through the pbix file mentioned in Chris Webb's blogs but I am afraid if that could work for me or not. But it will surely give me some workaround idea.

     

    I have voted to the idea.

     

    Thank you again!
