The Ribbon Chart is interesting although I find it really odd that it lacks a Y Axis. Please add a Y Axis with the usual functionality.

RE: Ribbon Chart Y Axis

After some solitary research I would advise everyone to try my solution if looking for a y-axis for your ribbon chart in the meantime. Click on your Ribbon Chart visual, go to the Format Pane, turn on "Zoom Slider", and turn on "Slider Labels" or "Slider Tooltips"

RE: Ribbon Chart Y Axis

The lack of a y-axis (& still displaying a y-axis title) is an inherent bug, I am not able to satisfy the specific requirement from my stakeholders to add a y-axis to the ribbon chart even though it was the report version they are most satisfied with. Please fix this and allow us to toggle like with its sibling stacked bar chart.

Exactly this. The CEO wanted stacked column chart which had an order of most volume at as the top stack, but power BI doesnt support that (yet). So the ribbon gives this functionality, but without the y axis values for easy viewing. Head against brick wall.

RE: Ribbon Chart Y Axis

Spent all day learning Power BI just for the ribbon chart. But I can't give my boss a chart with no Y-Axis, they will think I'm simple. Please fix the broken product so that it is fit for business use.
Looks like I'll be learning R tomorrow.

Yes please add the Y axis to the ribbon chart.

As a workaround until a Y axis becomes possible on the ribbon chart, one can add data labels to the ribbon chart.

RE: Ribbon Chart Y Axis

An option for a logarithmic y-axis would be very useful, for displaying data with one large value and lots of little ones.

Ironically, I could not add this comment on IE. And Edge does not work for a lot of websites. So, back to Chrome...

RE: Ribbon Chart Y Axis

Yes, it's unbelievably annoying. I see the chart but there is no way to measure the value without the Y Axis scale available
