In most of the charts the X and Y Axis are hard to read because the font size is quite small specially when you have large scale of data

Finally! This was long awaited, and could have been a showstopper in terms of users adopting Power BI.

Glad this is planned now. It is interesting to see Power BI getting built out, and as it gets built out it starts to do more and more of what Excel already does. It would be nice if there were some sort of convergence here, rather than duplication.

RE: Change font size for X-Axis and Y-Axis

this is such a most important and basic necessity that people are looking forward. It seems that there are multiple request being made for it but still MS people have not include it. Instead they have now given option to update Axis Labels rather that categories or value text for X or Y Axis...anyone listing out there at MS?

Impossible to read axis test on mobile devices often.

A similar simple idea in the same area to the one that I have suggested: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/14742582-change-x-and-y-axis-labels-manually-similar-to-ex
It's some of the little features like this that are the most needed.
