The primary axis are outdated and require significant improvement when compared to Excel. This makes it difficult for report creators and often leads to problems when trying to manage and style them effectively. By offering more format settings, greater control over displayed data can be provided, especially if axis ticks, new gridlines, and separators are also included.

@PowerBI #addthisASAP :)
Add a simple variable to set an interval on the x-axis, be it for a specific need or just to de-clutter the visual.
In my case x-axis is a reporting week 'Thurs to Weds', which needs a specific from/to range displayed (like '1 Apr - 7 Apr', rather than a 'week commencing' date that would be too easy). Hence not formatted as a date field but as a text field.
There's a lot of weeks in a year ... so way too much x-axis text and it's just horrible to look at. A 1 in 4 interval would vastly improve the visual for the user and improve engagement, rather than being distracted by the noise under the graph.

I am finding it increasingly difficult to advocate for the use of Power BI at my company as I uncover more and more basic functionalities that are missing. This feature is a must and should have been implemented years ago. Very disappointed.

This would be huge for several of my Executive reporting projects

RE: Epic idea: Advanced primary axis

please add this feature! I have this option in SSRS which is much older. I want to convince my users to switch from SSRS and this is one of those parity features that is needed.
