    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.

    This is huge. I can't compare headcount vs subscribers on 2 Y-Axis like I can in Excel. Huge disconnect.

    This looks like a duplicated post. Please vote on this one to get it done sooner ;)

    RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

    By default, the secondary Y-axis option applies to all lines in a chart. Currently, it is not available to make it only apply to one specific line. It is critical to be able to choose which line is plotted on the secondary axis vs. the primary axis. This is a very common task in excel and would be great to have the functionality in PowerBI.

    RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

    It's odd that such an obvious chart feature is not already included

    RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

    I would get a lot of use out of having a secondary y axis on a line chart.

    Same request : primary and secondary Y-axis or more.

    RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

    I surprised no one has created a custom visual for this yet.

    RE: Multiple Y-Axis on a chart

    Please give us the possibilty to show multiple Y-Axis with 2 or more bar charts or 2 or more line charts or 2 or more bar charts and a line chart.
    Not only the combination 1 bar and 1 line for dual axis as in the current version.
