Inverted y-axis

Hi,

 

I have a measure that usually results in numbers close to 100% and therefore have a line chart with a fixed End value of the y-axis of 1 and no Start value set to make it flexible, plus a Constant line for my threshold. Since this month Power BI Service seems to invert the y-axis, therefore hiding most of my datapoints and trendline. In Power BI Desktop it works normally.

Anyone else with this behaviour? Anything I can do or is this a bug? A constant measure instead of the constant line from the analysis tab seems to fix this, but I prefer the constant line because of the extra data label.

 

Regards, Stephan

Hi Liang,

 

As mentioned the issue didn't occur in Power BI Desktop, only in Power BI Service. I applied a workaround (extra constant measure on the Values, instead of the Analytics - constant line). I can't reproduce the issue anymore, so it might be fixed in Power BI Service. I'll accept the 'solution' to close this topic.

 

Regards, Stephan

Hi All

 

I am experiencing a similar issue and hoping you can assist. I have created a visual through Python.  In the desktop version I have my axis in the correct position (basically it is a cube graph which should have the X and Y axis start with 0 "in the back corner" of the cube) This is working as expected in Desktop but as soon as i publish the axis are then showing oposite to what i need.

 

This is the Desktop view - with the start 0 on the left and on the far right.

Then published to Service

No matter how i invert the axis it just will not appear how it does in the Desktop version.

 

Does anyone have an idea to resolve this?

 

Thanks

Chris
