Dynamically set x-axis start & end of visual

Is it possible to dynamically set the start & end points of the x-axis of any of the horizontal bar visuals based upon the loaded data?  For example, in the graphic below, I'm displaying 5,000 to 15,000 as my start & end limits for one customer.  Then when I select a different customer, I’d like to show different start & end limits (i.e. 1,000 to 2,000) on that same visual.  If not possible, what alternatives do you suggest?

Hello-

 

  Yes it is! In the format painter, if you select x-axis, there is an option for "Start" and "End" where you can custom select those points.

@Anonymous I can certainly set the start & end points to be a FIXED amount, but my question is how to set it DYNAMICALLY.  To expand on my example from above, if I have one customer's information loaded on a report page, I'd like to see the start & end points that are specific to that customer.  Then when I select to show a different customer's info on the same report page, I see different start & end points.  The start & end values would come from my data source.

Ah, my apologies, I misread the question.  But that same format painter should allow you to do that.  If you select "Auto" it will change the x-axis scale dynamically based on your data set.

@Anonymous That is not a good solution either.  As the original message shows, I'd like to set the start & end points to be CUSTOM values, and not points that are auto determined by Power BI.  For example, in my first graphic, the x-axis starts at 5,000, but using auto for the start & end, Power BI would naturally start at 0.
