Too many values (Showing Representative Sample) on a Stacked Column Chart

Hi,

 

I have a simple dashboard that looks like the following

 

Ohhhhhhfffs_0-1678255165059.png

 

However i cannot see all the values, i get the errors (Too many values or Showing Representative Sample)

 

I have two data sources, one is a Date source made using the Autocalander which i use on a splicer to filter the following data in my other source that looks like the sample below is stored in SQL, there is only 1500 or so rows each with a unique UID

UIDSampleValueDateOtherRandomData

SS002701/1/2020fasfaasf
SS003

SS00430

It is a stacked column chart

 

The X Value is Date,

The Y Value is Sum of SampleValue

and the Legend is UID

 

How am i able to view all the data in the dashboard? Surely Powerbi can handle more?

@Ohhhhhhfffs , These are the data limits

Move both the axis and legend on the axis. Sort of axis and use concatenate label -off

That will reduce data a bit , see if that can help
