Histogram visual doesn't display negative values

Hi,

I've been using histograms (from custom visuals library) for quite some time. They were working perfectly on desktop PowerBI and also in web. 

 

Unfortunately in the latest version of PowerBI the histogram doesn't display negative values (as you can see in the picture on the right).  Normally, I'd go for an R visual but this is no longer supported in the PowerBI version I have.

 

I'd appreciate any suggestion how to deal with this problem.

    Hi all, just to confirm, MSFT solved the issue with negative values in the histogram visual in the latest update (December 2017).

    gabriela，

    I make tests in October update and November update of Power BI Desktop, histogram charts show as same as yours, the negative values don’t show in the left side of x-axis.

    In what previous version of Power BI Desktop did you create the histogram and histogram chart displays negative values as shown in your first screenshot?

    Regards,
    Lydia

      Anonymous,

      thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure how can I check the version in which histograms worked (can I?) but after last update to version 2.51.4885.701 64-bit (October 2017) it stopped working. 

       

      When I tried manually fix the x scale display option it automatically changes to 0.

    This is a bug - negative values are shown incorrectly. Confirmed for Oct. and Nov. 2017 releases.

     

    Has it been filed?

      from my conversation with the PowerBI helpdesk, it seems they plan to release an updated version of histogram visual in the middle of December.
