Bars on Y axis in small multiples graph not properly sized online (desktop works correctly)

Hello,

 

I have a visualization showing counts of records in the Y-axis, being graphed as small multiples according to a column (e.g. the bigger font labelling the graphs, '4','2','1','3').

On Power BI desktop, when I scroll through the multiple graphs, the bars maintain their proper size. However, when accessed online, once I start scrolling, the bars jump to having a max size of 2, despite the underlying values remaining the same:

I have kept the Y-axix min/max ranges to 'Auto'.

 

Again, the desktop visualization behaves correcty/as desired, but in the online version, the bars become incorrectly sized after scrolling.

 

Anyone have ideas on what's going on?

Hi @chroberts ,

 

These settings apply to each individual small multiple, not globally across all multiples.

Some visuals from AppSource (like Deneb or Charticulator) allow locked Y-axes across small multiples.


Thanks,
Bhavin

Hi @BhavinVyas3003 

I'm using the stock 'Stacked column chart'. I was just including the setting information to show that I had NOT customized the y-axis min/max limits.

 

Any other ideas?

Hi @chroberts 

 

This can sometimes happen because the way the same table is being viewed in the power bi service. If you can have a look at the page view settings to see if that is are different.

Hi @GilbertQ 

That would be really strange acceptable behavior, as it's misrepresenting the values. Either way, I made sure I was viewing the graphs online ('Fit to Page') the same way as the desktop, and I went through each view option online, and the bad bars still appeared.

 

Any other ideas?
