Feature Request:

Currently, SAS Visual Analytics supports logarithmic scaling for the value axis in Line Charts, but this option is not available for Bar Charts.

I would like to request the ability to apply a logarithmic scale to the measure axis in Bar Charts as well.

 

Use Case:

Many datasets contain values that span several orders of magnitude. When displayed in a standard bar chart, smaller values become difficult or impossible to distinguish because they are compressed near zero. A logarithmic axis would allow users to visualize both small and large values effectively while retaining the advantages of a bar chart for category comparisons.

I'm so surprised actually that this hasn't been implemented for so long. I have noticed this a few times but never asked for the request. Thank you for writing this here, Daniela.

As far as I know, this feature exists in Excel as well as in some python libraries
