Hi,

 

I´m having trouble with showing the x axis. I have a waterfall chart that fluctuates arrond zero. I want to be to see the x axis in order to know if i´m bellow zero or not.

So, I changed the waterfall chart to a stack column chart, and "created" a waterfall chart, just like in Excel. The stack column chart has Analytics, so I added a constant line in zero. It´s not the best, but it´s a solution. Hope It helps.

If it's not passible in the standard visual, please try to find a custom visual with the functionality you're after.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

 

I think you want to clearly see the main reasons for monthly changes.

 

Please kindly refer to this blog, which explains the role of Breakdown bucket:

Based on my test, I falied to add the x axis. The only I can do is to set Gridlines.

@Anonymous , you can change the color to black. I did saw any option for axis line type.  You can log an idea -https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/

Hi @Anonymous - You can insert a Shapes> line and rotate it to 90 degrees.

 

Something like-
