Line Chart Y Axis Range not scaling when a value exceeds an increment value

[NotMyJob]

The Y axis seems to have a limitation on that if the data value exceeds the set(?) increment level line (see below it's 5 - not sure how that's determined either).  I would expect that if the data value reaches the threshold the Y axis values would increase another 5.  Or, whatever it's set at.  Would someone be able to explain this to me and if I can make that automatically increment when the data value exceeds the 'limit' on the Y axis?

Hi @NotMyJob ,

Please try below steps:

1. below is my test table

Table:

2. create a mesure with below dax formula

Measure =
MAXX ( 'Table', [Column2] ) + 5

3. add a line chart with fields, apply measure to Y-axis Maximum

Please refer the attached .pbix file.

Hi.

Above solution is properly working for whole number. But It does not work for the decimal number.

If use the decimal number in the "coloumn 2" it sum the value and did not plot the all three values.

It summarize the values on the coloum "Time" and plot in the line chart.

Could you give me a solution for plotting all the points in "12:00 am" in the line chart with summarize those instead assume it a values.

Thanks.

Hi,

I figured out how to increase the max y-axis value for my line chart so that the max data point would always be positioned below the top of the y-axis (even with data slicer criteria applied). For each of the two lines in my visual, the y-axis data points were based on three differenet measures that calculated average values based on a data column (filtered by year). I initially used a MAXX function to identify the largest value across all six measures presented in the visual and then added a value of 1 (and incorporated the function into the y-axis max conditional formatting) but the y-axis max wasn't shifting. When I updated the DAX formula to result in the MAXX value with 20% of that value added to it the y-axis shifted correctly even when the values changed significantly after data slicers were applied. See below. 

This was the formula I used to create the MAXX value that I then incoporated into y-axis max conditional formatting: 

Y-axis max measure 

= VAR maxaverage = { measure 1,measure 2, measure 3, measure 4, measure 5, measure 6 }

RETURN

MAXX( maxaverage, [Value] )+MAXX(maxaverage, [Value]*.2)
