    Hi Anonymous 

     

    It's not supported in Power BI. But if you are happy to use measures to calculate the counts, you can refer to below article to have a workaround to showing measure names on axis. Actually you always need to have a table which contains all values to be shown on axis. 

     

    DAX Measure in the Axis of the Power BI Report - RADACAD

You can do that easily with the Power BI default visual. The very first visual in the PBI Desktop view

      Hi Anonymous 

      if you are referring to the measures bar chart that tableau creates using 'measure names' and 'measure values', then I am not aware of anything like that in Power BI. sorry man.
