Stacked Area Chart: Difference between PowerBI Desktop and PowerBI.com

Hi,

I'm having trouble with some differences between dashboard visualisations in PowerBI Desktop and how they display when published to the PBI service. 

 

It's affecting DialGuage from the viz gallery, but also the stock Stacked Area Chart. With no filters applied at all, the Area Chart looks the same in both - but as soon as a filter is applied, the X-Axis is different in each. 

 

Tried Googling around for an answer but can't see any mention of this glitch (?). Any ideas?

 

Top screenshot is PowerBI Desktop and second is PowerBI.com:

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

@L33 From the images you've uploaded issue seems only around visual part and not the data as y-axis in service seemed to include higher numbers. Regardless it shouldn't be an issue. I would edit this report in power bi service remove visual and re-create it to see if it matches with desktop. Perhaps worth looking at the data as well since dataset getting published to service may have those high numbers (suh as blank rows being included).

Recreating the visualisations in the Service does fix the issue. This would appear to be a bit of bug in the Desktop to Service transition. Is there way to flag that up to someone..?
