Show in Chart decimal and percentage

Hello,

I was wondering if I can display percent and decimal in a line and stacked column chart on the secondary y-line. In excel it would look like this:

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that at all in Power Bi:

This is my line only with the percentage value. if I connect both I don't get a reasonable view

I am still very new to Power Bi, so I don't know if it works and if so how.

Can someone perhaps help me?

Kind regards,

Laura

You are trying to do too much.  Is this a business requirement or something you came up with yourself?

 

For charts with more than two Y axes you would need to use custom visuals, and make sure your report users understand what they are looking at.

Hi @Laura7 ,

@lbendlin Thanks for your concern about this case!
And @Laura7 , the reason for this very wide separation of the top and bottom lines and one line almost entirely close to the x-axis is that your two folds are sharing an x-axis, and the one above you has a value of hundreds to thousands, while the one below has a value of less than one.

If you want your visual objects to look good, you can try this button:

After opening:

You can see the two folding lines more clearly

Hi,

first thanks @v-junyant-msft for your help. it's not quite what i was looking for, but it's really useful knowledge that i'm sure i'll need, so thank you very much. My problem is rather that the first value is a decimal number. The other value is a percentage where the customer would like to have a scale from 0 - 100% but also wants the second line to be exactly the same as before. 
And @lbendlin this is unfortunately a business requirement how can i build such a custom visual?

Use the Deneb visual.
