Epic idea: Advanced primary axis

[Miguel_Myers]

The primary axis are outdated and require significant improvement when compared to Excel. This makes it difficult for report creators and often leads to problems when trying to manage and style them effectively. By offering more format settings, greater control over displayed data can be provided, especially if axis ticks, new gridlines, and separators are also included.

Date / Time on Y-Axis! Such that we can plot time vs time (X and Y axis)

@Miguel_Myers I completely agree with your assessment. Another critical feature that’s currently missing is the ability to set the default position of the scroll bar on the main axis. Right now, when a report loads, the scroll bar defaults to the leftmost position. This creates confusion for users, as most charts prioritize newer data on the right side by default. While reversing the axis order (to place newer data on the left) is a workaround, this introduces its own problems. Trends and visual patterns become inverted, which can mislead users and distort the report’s intended message. For example, a downward trend would incorrectly appear upward, leading to flawed interpretations. This seems like a fundamental oversight—allowing users to define the scroll bar’s starting position would resolve both usability and data clarity issues. It’s a basic yet essential enhancement for intuitive report navigation.

I constantly work with data at small scales where the graph auto-scaling breaks down and make it hard to understand the data with too large axis intervals. Just being able to control axis intervals or having the ability to scale the intervals would be very helpful.

Please add the option to have Date values / hierarchies on the y-axis. This to allow Data (x-axis) vs date (Y-axis) graphs possible
