    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 workaround that ive used for now - is to overlay 2 Line graphs (one with y axis on left, and one on right with a hidden x-axis). the key is to make the 2nd y- axis a scale that's either 1/2, or 1/10 the size so that the bars line up. - also made an R-Script visual, but that one doesnt look as polished..


    I think that it would be ideal if someone could set up a visual, where you could 'drag and drop' multiple visuals on top of each other, and the graphs would auto scale, and have a tab along the top of the visual - where you could switch between each overlain graph (this tab feature would be most useful for editing each graph individually) this way, you could remove the old 'bar and line' and such, and the interface would be cleaned up.

    it would also allow you to make an 'area and line' graph, or any other combination - from the standard power-bi visuals.

    This should be pushed up in the priority list. Excel can do it and probably most users come from excel

    RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

    Absolutely! Many applications allow for even multiple scales on a single axis, which I think would be an even better idea!
