Hi 

 

I want to plot line chart with multiple Axis. Each axis would be reperesenting different variables.

I am not able to find this visual.

Kindly help me on this.

But is there any custom visual already availble in R which will fullfill this requirement?


@kuldeep_kumar,

No. You would need to create R visual by yourself, you can take a look at the following link to get details.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

If I am not wrong, Line chart with multiple Y axis is very basic requirement that every BI tool should have.

Why Power BI is still not giving this visual by default?

Hi @kuldeep_kumar,

Currently, it doesn’t support to add a secondary axis on the Line chart. Some ideas about this issue have been submitted in the following links, please vote them up.

As a workaround, you can use “Line and stacked column chart” or “Line and clustered column chart” instead, these charts have dual Y-axis.

Thanks,
