We would like to have multiple y-axis on a chart, more than 2

Multiple y-axis for Cartesian charts is on our backlog. I don't have a timeline to share, but please keep voting. I'll update the idea once we have more information to share.

RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

The upstream Oil & Gas Industry needs this capability and Power BI is not of much use to most O&G Bi reporting and visualization business scenarios until this feature is there.

RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

I would love to have this chart. If you're looking at bar chart, you can consider using custom visual: Infographic Designer. However, I would want to have this feature for line chart too.

RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

Having more Axis is definitely a must! So you can have at least one to show the value, and 2 for drill downs. Exemple: Dates and and company structure (Company -> Jobs -> Tasks, etc.)

RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

Any news on getting this developed? This is a huge drawback from integrating Power BI in our company versus your competitor. Thanks!

Found it, the Line and Clustered Column Char has dual Y-axis!

RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

this is a definite need, since many analysts are calling for data analysis using simple, one-view charts, instead of spread across the dashboard

RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

This is a very nice functionality needed/necessary to compare dependent trends in the same visualization. I did find a r-script program for for it, but I think it should be a part of the basic functionality.

RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

Yes, need multiple axis ability in Power BI Visuals. Able to do in Excel, need to do in Power BI as well.
