secondary axis

Currently using Power BI Desktop (just downloaded last week). I'm trying to create chart with secondary axis (Y-axis). However, in the tool, when I select from Visualization pane, 'Y-Axis' then 'Show secondary', nothing happens. In the video, I see that underneath that option when it is selected, there are other options to select like position it on 'right' side.  

Please advise.

  • Hi,

     

    Can you try adding the metric (which you want to display in secondary axis ) to the line values

      i found the solution but doesnt seems right

      When i do Y axis title tab on off or change the display unit to auto, it shows secondary axis.

      Hi Xiaoxin,

       

      I have a dummy pbix file with the example but I don't see a way to upload to here. 

      How can I upload file or upload screenshot?

       

      thanks!

        You can use photos button to upload the screenshots, sample data your can upload to 1drive and paste the link.
