I think you should be able to type whatever you want into the X and Y axis to make up the title for them.
This seems like a simple feature and works really well in Excel.
When I have multiple fields in a chart the axis is long and ugly, where a simple edit should be available to shorten this down.

It would also be useful if the label on pie charts etc. could include the %age, so you do have to hover over each slice of the pie.

As Joost says, all text on a visual should be editable - you should be able to edit how the name of a measure appears on a report, and have it just affect the appearance on that report.

Power BI team, is there any update on this? This idea has been in the top 10 hot ideas for nearly 3 months. Keep up the good work.
RE: Change X and Y axis labels manually, similar to Excel
In visuals (like stacked column chart) by able to modify the x-axis and y-axis title with "static text", and also to provide the tile through a formula (to request the title in aTable for example).
RE: Change X and Y axis labels manually, similar to Excel
Not only the x and y labels, but actually all fields should be able to be renamed for a visual..
RE: Change X and Y axis labels manually, similar to Excel
Yes! That would be really helpfull!
RE: Change X and Y axis labels manually, similar to Excel
Yes please, to change the font size (and colour) of both x- and y-axis labels would be much appreciated. Without it, the quality of reports is much lower than it need be, if only this simple feature could be implemented (soon, please!).
RE: Change X and Y axis labels manually, similar to Excel
Yes please. Excel charting is much more flexible and customisable. Even being able to choose a second time series to go to a second y axis is missing in power bi which is very annoying
RE: Change X and Y axis labels manually, similar to Excel
We also need to change axis label size and color to make them more visible.
RE: Change X and Y axis labels manually, similar to Excel
Agree!
