Manually adjust step size x-axis in graph

How do I manually adjust the step size of numbers on the x-axis in a graph?

Right now I have a graph with ages 17 to 35 on the x-axis. The ages 20,25,30,35 show right now on the axis.

However, I want to have 18,20,22,...,32,34 on the axis. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @gijskruikemeier 

Currently it is not supported to customize axis steps or intervals in a chart. You can vote for these similar or related ideas.

Microsoft Idea  · Axis with configurable units (/Interval) (powerbi.com)

Microsoft Idea  · Add the axis interval in the charts (powerbi.com)

Microsoft Idea  · Custom step sizes Y-axis (powerbi.com)

 

Besides, which type is the visual you want to adjust?

Hi @gijskruikemeier ,

If you want to show all the values then you can select Categorical X Axis as shown below:

However I doubt if you can change the step size as per your requirement.

Hi Jaideepnema,

 

Thanks for your reply.

Categorical won't work because I have a datapoint for every day...

Any other ideas?
