You can create custom axis labels or titles for the bottom, left, and right axis of a chart and select which titles should be shown on the chart. By default, the name of the measure or dimension is used. If you remove a custom axis title, the value reverts to the default setting.

  1. From the Toolbox, select Workbooks, then select a workbook.

  2. If needed, select Design.

  3. Click the arrow at the top of the Properties pane to switch between Worksheet properties and properties for the type of chart you view, for example, Bar.

  4. Click the checkboxes below Show Value Axis to select which labels should be displayed. 
    Not all values apply to each chart type.

  5. If you select a specific angle from the X-Axis Label Angle list, such as 30, 45, 60, or 90, the axis labels will be truncated and inclined according to the selected angle. Additionally, the Truncate option is selected by default.

  6. To wrap the axis labels without overlapping, select the 0-degree angle.
