Help displaying line chart visual with high variance of Y-axis values
Hi there,
I am working on a simple line chart visual. I am seeking workarounds/tips and tricks to better display the data in my chart considering the variance of Y-axis values. One datapoint is the 2-3M range (seen in second screengrab) while the rest of of my datapoints are >50k (first screengrab) so it appears skewed and does not enable data labels that are an accurate representation of those lower values. Is there a way to break the Y-axis to be more demonstrative of all datapoints? If not, is there a way to not make the data labels on the lower values not "0M" but rather their value, e.g. "20k"? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey @Anonymous ,
as far as I know this problem still exists with values of such a big difference.
Breaking the Y-axis would make it more visible, but you would change the data as the scale doesn't fit anymore.
You have 2 possibilities:
1. You can change the display units to thousands:
2. You could use the "Line and stacked column chart". There you can have two axis, one for the bars and one for the line. This helps in some cases.
