Feature Idea: User-determined Y-Axis scale cap for Bar Graph Reports

I have a Reports Dashboard that highlights Year-over-Year changes in my company's Inbound Lead Generation data. For each year we've been using Pipedrive, there's a bar graph with 12 bars, showing the monthly totals of inbound leads. We've been using Pipedrive for four years, so that's four bar graphs in this dashboard. Fortunately we're seeing consistent 50% growth YoY but that creates a visual issue on my Report Dashboard.

Right now the Y-Axis scale of all bar graph reports is relative to the data in said report, and that scale adjusts as bars approach the visual ceiling of the graph. So when you have multiple bar graph reports in one dashboard, a bar of a specific height may mean "40 inbound leads" on the first report, "80" on another, and "120" on the most recent one, even though the height of the bars themselves are the same across the reports.

It'd be great to set/adjust the scale of these bar graphs so that they're consistent on Dashboards. In my circumstance it'd allow me to set the scale of the all four report to match the highest scale. This would give a more accurate visual representation of how the data is changing over time.

Maybe instead of just allowing users to edit the scales manually, there could just be a setting that allows a user to toggle on "Match Y-axis scale of [drop-down menu of user's bar graph reports]"?

A similar solution could be achieved if >24 columns (in my case, 48) were able to be displayed all as once, in a single bar graph report.

Just a suggestion.
Best,
