Labels position Y axis

Hi

 

I created a highlighter to point out a certain bar in my chart. I used an if statement to do so. Why is PowerBI screwing up my Y-axis?

nice solution, but I solved it by changing the chart type.

it seems the chart on the right is 2 series (teal and black), where the black series has value only for top bar, and teal for all bars except the top one

Thank you for the kudos 🙂

That is correct, I only want to highlight the top bar and not the others.

 

any solution?

well right now you're not really highlighting, you're transforming one data series into two, and using different colours for each.
have you tried using the format options instead?
