Show all clustered bar chart X axis scale items

Hi,

 

I use basic clustered bar chart visual in my Power BI report and I have a problem with X axis items.

I want to see all X-axis items between start and end values (0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6).

Is there any way to display all items without resizing the visualization, because it is not possible in this case.

 

I have set scale start value 0 and end value 6 and now Power BI show automatically X-axis scale like below (0 - 2  - 4 - 6).

Example if I change scale start value 0 -> 1 visual show all value between 1-6.

Visualization size is same.

I hope you can advice some solutions for this 🙂

hi  @Anonymous 

This is depends on the size of the visual, you could not set it manually.

Hi,

 

Is that really the only way to resize the visualization?

 

I have to almost double the width before it show all items 0 -> 6.

 

BR,

hi @Anonymous 

To my knowledge, this automatic adaptive size of bar visual, so it couldn't set it manually.

Which Power BI version you are using?

Because I don't see that setting.

@Anonymous ah I think since the visual you are using is sideways, the x-axis is actually the y-axis and vice versa. Check the options for Y-axis and you should be able to change the type to categorical.

I use clustered bar chart visualization and in Y-axis settings can't found that kind of settings 😞

@Anonymous that's really weird. Try doing a clustered column chart and see if the option shows up for X-axis.

Btw are you using Power BI Desktop? That's what I'm using.

Axis field format is text and values fields format is decimal number.

Click on your visual, then on the visualizations pane click the dropdown arrow for the X-axis and change the type to "categorical". It should show all the values.
