Line chart truncation

Line charts appear truncated at the top when a minimum value of zero is set for the y-axis as per the example below. I suspect this is a Power BI bug given the number of posts about chart trun...

I’ve got response from the Product Team.

 

This is by design currently. Once users set a min or max axis value, we use a combination of the specified values and/or the actual values where the user has not defined a value. So, once you set the Min, we change logic. Max is undefined so we use the real max of 19,418 as the top. Dropping the last label is by design to there is minimal whitespace and so we respect what the user has specified. This is the same as if the user had typed in 19,418 as the Max - they wouldn't want us to jump to 20k on the axis just to label the top.

All that said, we have discussed a plan to expose part of this behavior to the user as an option. The axis ticks can be rounded "nicely" to include the next label based on the tick interval - which would show 20k in this case. We will leave defaults as-is so existing visuals aren't affected, but we plan to introduce a new toggle to control whether the axis should extend to the next tick interval outside the domain or not.

No ETA right now, hopefully by end of this year.
