Logarithmic scaled scatter chart?
I am pretty new to Power BI and have some trouble with a scatter chart. The x-axis should be logarithmic scaled but I can only set it to linear. What am I doing wrong? PS: It's a ger...
Can you check the data type that you're using for the x-axis? I'm using whole numbers in the example below and seeing the option to change the scale from linear to log. If you're not able to get it to work, one other workaround would be to create an additional column with the log value, then use that in the scatter plot.

The column is of type decimal but I tested it with a fixed decimal and an integer too. The column comes from a SQL Stored Procedure, there it is a
decimal(18, 2)
In case I calculate the logarithmic value in another column, the shown value at the axis is the logarithmic value too, right? So it would not be good readable.
