I have a stacked column chart and a request to show the x axis labels vertically or at a 45 degree angle. Is this possible in Power BI as I can't see a way of achieving this.
If it is not possible is there a custom visual that would create the desired outcome?
Instead of a stacked column chart, consider using a stacked horizontal chart, where the label are aligned with the visuals by default and you don't have to turn your head to read them.

I would like to have time or distance on the y-axis and values on the x-axis and make vertical charts not horizontal ones. For example, I would like time on the y-axis to start a 0 hours and continue all the way down to 13 hours. I would like to see values ranging from 1-5 on the x-axis. Basically, I would like a flipped or transposed line chart. I would also like to do the same thing with a bar chart. Is this possible in Power BI?

It looks like there are a couple ways to accomplish this:
Download the multiple axes chart Power BI add-on from the Microsoft app store.
Make the visualization in Python or R from the Power BI visualization ribbon. For example, you could use Python and the Matplotlib library. In Matplotlib you can invert the axes to make the preferred chart.
I am rending image chart on a server side code. I am using bar chart (bvg).
I am not able to render the chart the way I want to. I am sure it's doable because I have done it using Google Chart JS. The chart's x axis is month and y axis is score. I want to display the labels Month and Score for each axis along with the bar labels. I also want to show the value markers on the Y-axis.
When I add X and Y axis labels with chxl the Axis Labels shows up along with Y-axis value markers; but strange the value markers denote wrong values. The values range between 0 and 100 no matter what values my bar represents and that too the height of the bar doesn't match with the Y-axis values (which ranges between 0 and 100). Please help.
I've written the URL like this:
https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=bvg&chxt=x,x,y,y&chxl=1:|Months|3:|Score&chxp=1,50|3,50&chbh=30,20,20&chds=0,40&chs=400x400&chco=015CAE,015CAE,015CAE,015CAE,015CAE&chd=t:22,32,11,27,8&chl=Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May
And I am concerned about the values displayed in the following snapshot of the chart (see highlighted values in red, they do not match the actual bar values):

I am using jasper reports with charting. The chart generally works with a wide variety of values.
In one case the values are either 1.011 or 1.01 for the range or Y axis. That is, the user tries to generate a chart and some of the values are 1.011 and some are 1.01.
The challenge is, when generating a chart with these values, the chart is scaled incorrectly on the range or Y axis. The labels range from 1.000 to 1.010 with increments of .001. As the top of the chart is 1.010, the values 1.011 fall off the top of the chart and don't appear on the chart.
Can anybody explain how the range or Y axis is derived beyond stating that the axis is derived from the data. And why, in this case, is the axis derived
incorrectly?
Is there a way to configure the chart to display the range or Y axis more correctly?
I edit a jrxml file. I do not use iReports or java api.
Thanks for all of your assistance and good ideas

I have a control chart, with on the X-axis a time period, and the Y-axis the value of the measure (I'd like to plot all the points in a control chart).
However, I have 2 different values as a measure, which have the exact same date (up to a second match) but different measure values.
When I plot this on a control chart, instead of having 2 points in the control chart with value 500 and 550 for example - it gives me one point with a value of about 200.
It also gives a notification that there is a NULL value in this axis, which points to the X-axis where 2 records have the exact same date.
Any idea what I can do to make this correct - or make tableau draw the measure points correctly?
Thanks in advance!
It's difficult to answer without seeing more detail about your problem, but this sounds like a good candidate for a blended axis. (multiple measures sharing a single axis)
The easiest way to do this is to put your (probably continuous) datetime field on the row axis and one of your measures on the row axis to see one of then control plots. Then drag the second measure to the Y-axis until you see a little translucent two bar icon to indicate that you are adding a second measure to that axis, at which point you can release the pointer and you should see a two plots on the same axis.
If the scales for the two measures are radically different, you can instead drag the second measure to the right side instead to get a dual axis.
I am using HighStocks (http://api.highcharts.com/highstock) and have data being plotted on 2 different y axes with timestamps for the x axis, one series is an 'areaspline' chart and the other is a 'column' chart. When changing the zoom view, the chart becomes more or less narrow. This never happened when I was only using areasplines, even with two y-axes.
How can I ensure the x-axis fills the entire chart width?
