Hi @learner03
Unfortunately no, this is my "pain" too :(.
There is an idea about the issue you please vote for it:

This option is available in graphs with Deneb /charticulator graphs but you have to learn how to use them.

Hi @learner03 ,
I have a certain understanding of your problem.
You want the y-axis interval of the column chart to be customizable. Unfortunately, this feature is not currently available in the cluster column chart of Power BI Desktop.
But the solution we gave here is to use R script visual to draw a diagram yourself:
Before you do this, you need to configure R script vasual and install R studio, information on how to use R script visual:
Create Power BI visuals using R - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
First of all, You can create a canvas by clicking R in the Visualizations bar on the right, and then drag your data into it.
Then you can use the following code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data=dataset,aes(x=column1,y=column2))+
geom_bar(stat=”identity”)+
scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(0,25,by=5))+
theme_classic()
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of
ggplot(data=dataset,aes(x=column1,y=column))+ is to set the measure or column you want to visualize to the X and Y axes
scale_y_continuous(breaks=seq(0,25,by=5))+, the meaning of this code is to set the interval of the y-axis to 0-25, and the interval is 5, You can change it according to your needs
Enter the code and click this button to compile
Here is the result:

To implement R-Script type of visual, looks like we should have R installed in our local machine to install ggplot2 library.
Else I see "package not installed" error.
I don't mind setting up R in my PC but if I want to share my visual in my .pbi file to others, does that mean they also need to have R installed in their PC to view the visual?
