Hi Vaishnavi_M,

In scatter chart, the "Log" option is available in Scale Type property. You can use whole numbers in the resource data and seeing the option to change the scale from linear to log(please review the highlighted in yellow backgroud).



Log scale type is not available in bar charts and column charts currently based on my research.

The command R statement and create R visualization. The logarithmic scale can be used in R stament. For example, you can use ggplot2 function. 

Thanks,
Angelia

For some visuals, the Log option will not appear in the Scale Type drop down until after you override the Start value to be 1 instead of Auto

    Thanks! Log didn't show up for me until I added a start value of 1. Weird 'bug'..
