RE: Customize chart and axis titles

As of Power BI Desktop @ 24/08/2016 there does not appear to be an option to selectively turn on/off the data labels for specific Y axis series (excuse my Excel speak :) )

Particularly annoying when using Line and Stacked Column Chart - where it is normal to have data labels ON for the y axis bars, but OFF for the line data label.

Come on, surely someone thought about this already?

RE: Customize chart and axis titles

As of Power BI Desktop @ 24/08/2016 I don't seem to be able to choose or change the font used in any visualisations. Why and when can we? Companies have corporate colours and fonts, I'm surprised that this is not an option - for report titles, x and y axis and data labels - come on MS :) - our corporate font is Trebuchet MS

RE: Customize chart and axis titles

As of the Power BI Desktop July 2016 update, I still can not customize the text size of the X-Axis and Y-Axis yet. The text size of Data Labels works fine.

RE: Customize chart and axis titles

being able to give a completely different name to the axis title rather than using/changing the column name would be very usefull, column names don't need information that axis titles might need to clarify the graph tot the client. So not yet completed since one change the text of the axis titles yet

RE: Customize chart and axis titles

I had some negative values on Y Axis, however those are procurement values and those are negative mean its a good sign.
I want to display the graph using those values, but in MS-BI the graph is below '0' value, I want to show those values like 0,-1,-2,-3,-4 ...n on Y axis. I mean start value is '0' and end value may be '-5' however it should be below 0 line.

As of the Power BI Desktop May 2016 update, I still can not customize the text size of the X-Axis and Y-Axis yet. The text size of Data Labels works fine.
