Hi,
I have created a combined column/line chart to show the relationship between two trends but the column Y-axis always starts at 0 even though the start and end values are set to "auto". I can manually set the start and end values but this isn't a workaround because my data is dynamic and filtered with a slicer so the start and end values need to change.
The line part of the Y-axis is also on auto and suitable start and end values are used but the column part always starts at zero. Is there anything I can do to change this and make the column axis show more meaningful results?
Thanks,
Tom
Hi @tomknight,
Do you means show bar and line with same y axis unit?
If this is a case, you can enter to format tab to turn off 'show secondary' option.

Hi @tomknight,
>>they have different scales so they need to have separate Y-Axes but the line axis automatically selects an appropriate scale
whereas the column one will always start at zero (even though the scale is set to auto).
If that is a case, current I also haven't found any effective method to work through this. Maybe you can try to submit an idea with suggestion to help us improve this feature.
