Axis with configurable units (/Interval)

Configurable option of Units (Interval) for the axis in a graph. Now PowerBI automatically choices to units between values on the size of the graph and the data. As an example with a small graph and values ranging from minus -200 and +400 the unit PowerBI choices to use is 200. In this example data becomes hard to understand. If there is an option to set a unit on the axis, we could improve visibility if the automatic one doesn’t fill the needs. In the example we could set the unit of the y-axis to 50, this will increase the number of values on the y-axis. Maybe the number of labels will increase on the y-axis and not enough space to put them. So I can imagine design team wants to make the label part dynamic? But the graph axis lines based on the value put.

Can't believe this doesn't have more votes. Comparing year on year data is horrendous to visualise when there is a massive blow out, and the trend line looks near identical, when it should be alarming.

Have been avoiding pbi for these and other reasons. With the current client don't have am option. Shame we have to go to ETL layer to fix data for simple config changes like this.

Our director knows the importance of how graphs should convey a story and being able to set the line intervals is a huge part of that, please make this ability possible!!

This is such a fundamental feature for a plotting tool. Power BI really letting us down here.

Please implement this - upper management laughs when told it is not possible - especially considering it is in both Excel /PPT

Control over charts in Power BI should be at least as comprehensive as it is in Excel. Basic line charts in PBI are terrible - you can't display the axis lines, change scaling, and many other things. They look like charts in the DOS version of Lotus 123. Please consider improving chart capabilities to the level Excel has had for decades.

How does Excel have this feature but PowerBI does not?
