Vertical axis labels on column chart

I'm trying to get the x-axis labels oriented vertically on a 3D column chart, so that the labels don't overlap each other. With 2D column charts I can do this via "format>chart>format x-axis" but these options are grayed out with the 3D column chart. Is there any way to get vertical orientation on the axis labels with this chart type???

It's usually not necessary to make the axis labels vertical to keep them from overlapping in a 3D chart since when you rotate the chart the labels are vertically offset. But you're right, there's no other control for this.

  • X Axis label of Column Chart

    Hello,
    I am Plotting column chart based on the data present in datagridview;Column 1(having string Data Type) as my X axis value and Column Y as my Y axis value.On Column chart click event i am fetching x axis and y axis co-ordinates of my column chart and displaying
    in Label on my form.But when i click it shows "0" as my x axis cordinate for the clicked column.
    As my x axis is having labels as 06:00:00-07:00:00,07:00:00-08:00:00,..........
    Below is image of my application
    f Chart1.Series(0).Name = "Daily Data" Then
    'Chart1.Series(0).XValueType = ChartValueType.Time
    Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue.ToString()
    'xval = xval.AddHours(Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue)
    Label4.Text = "Selected Coordinates are: " & Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).XValue.ToString & ", " & Chart1.Series(0).Points(result.PointIndex).YValues(0).ToString("f2")
    End If
    Else
    If result.ChartElementType <> ChartElementType.Nothing Then
    Dim elementType As String = result.ChartElementType.ToString()
    Label4.Text = "Selected Element is: " & elementType
    End If
    End If

    You need to get this example from Microsoft. It is a c# project code you just run it in Visual Studio. It shows most everything you can do with a chart. It shows the vb code when you run it and click the vb tab. Near the bottom of the left tree is Appearance
    - Labels etc. Also under data types there are date and time examples. This link is also in the forum faqs at the top of the chart forum posts.
    Chart examples.
    I think you need to tell the chart to use datetime for the labels but I am not sure how and I am not too good with them but that is why I do this to learn things. I would just look in the chart examples from the link I show. That is how I answer most of
    the questions here.
    Can you reproduce your problem using the simple example from the other question? Otherwise I cant really do much.
    Also, most times when you make a simple example you will find the problem or at least understand it better.
    So take a look and come back if you cant get it I then I will try too.

  • How to display axis labels on both x and y-axis of a column chart

    hi,
     i have an urgent requirement of having axis labels on both x and y axis
    In x-axis i got it by sorting order also but in y-axis i'm unable to do
    i need in y-axis ,my column values are L1,L2,L3,----L10these shuold display in y-axis in sorting order and 0 in axis should remain as it is ..........how to take the interval ....? as of now i'm using Auto
    my y-axis values shud look like 0,L1,L2,L3,L4,----L10can anyone get perfect solution
    thanx in advance
    lucky

    Hi Lucky,
    Per my understanding that you want to display the values(Column1) like  "L1,L2,L3....L10" which comes from the "Series group" in the Y-Axis label and keep the row group in "Category group" to
    display in the x-axis and Numric column(1,2,3,4) in the "Value", right?
    Gernerally the lable display in the y-axis is automatically based on the value of the Numric column in the "Value" and it default is numbric labels.
    I have tested on my local environment and in your scenario, i suggest to hide the axis lable of the y-axis and create an tablix to only show the one column contains the values (L1,L2,L3,L3) to display in the place of the hidden y-axis label.
    Detais information about to design an new y-axis label ae below for your reference:
    Create an tablix to display only the row group of the "Column1" ( for the
    Column1 may have duplicate values, you can create parent row group for this column and hide the detail column by setting the "Column Visibility").
    Right click the y-axis to select the "Vertical Axis Properties" and select the "Labels" on the left pane to check the "Hide Axis labels"
    Select the Chart Area and in the properties set value of left=0 under the CustomPosition:
    Set the border style=None for both the Chart and Column1's row group
    Drag the tablix at the position near the hidden y-axis and set the size of both the chart and the tablix to make the value in the tablix row group(Column1) to be align with the y-axis label:
    Right click the "Chart legend" to delete or hide the legend
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • Offset in Category axis when in Column chart : Numbers

    Hi,
    Is there a way we can offset x-axis in a column chart? To give an example, I want to plot x=1,2,3 vs y=-1,0,1.
    However, Instead of x-axis starting at '0', I want to have it start at -2. In this way, I can have an increasing order graph rather than inverting one.
    I know it can be done in excel, but any idea if it can be done in Numbers?
    Thx,
    Swapnil.

    Not something that Numbers will do without a little coercion and subterfuge).
    Modification to the Table:
    Column C added to contain the 'shifted' values for Y.  =B+2
    Column C selected as values to be charted. Category labels are picked up from Column A (a Header column).
    Modifications to the chart:
    Value labels on Y axis NOT displayed.
    Y axis Max set to 3.5, Steps set to 7.
    Text box added to contain labels to match bar heights to original (unshifted) values.
    Line shape added to mark Y value of 0.

  • Labview Intensity Graph Vertical Axis Label

    When I change the font of the vertical axis label of a Labview intensity graph, the label disappears. Is this a Labview bug or is there a way to correct the problem?

    Here are those screenshots... I was a little quick to submit
    - JLS
    PS - of course, when you're editing the free label, it doesn't have those nasty affects, and if you group the objects (see the Free Label and Grouping screenshot) it behaves (at least cosmetically) much like a native graph label

  • BarChart vertical axis label - possible to control width?

    Is there a way to control/force the width for the vertical axis labels so that a label stays readable?
    Currently my labels are short sentences that get resized down to an illegible font size while the bars (series) stay quite large.
    It would be ok for the bars (series) to be squashed so that the labels stay readable.
    I have been searching for a couple of hours but cannot find a way to do this.  Specifying a fontSize="xx" on the <mx:AxisRenderer> for the vertical axis seems to have no effect (nor does specifying the font size in the CSS).  I have also tried setting "minWidth" and "width" to no avail...

    Well by chance I found this forum posting through a search engine query:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/1964315#1964315
    It explains that you need to set the gutter style properties to accomodate longer lines of text.  In this case,
    gutter-left:400;
    in the BarChart style did it for me.
    It would be nice if an axis label could be wrapped onto two or more lines if needed but the solution above works for now...

  • Change the Axis Labels of a Chart

    The Chart-Series are generate through AS (Multiple PlotSeries and 1 LineSeries). I managed to Update the Visuell Areas (in this example to manipulate Vertical Axis (minimum/maximum values to be shown).
    No I have 3 Questions about to manipulate this Chart with AS3:
    I would like to remove nearly all "Ticks" and "Labels" from the Axis. At the End only the min/max and 0-Label-Value on the vertical Axis should be displayed. And on the vertical Axis, I would like only to have the min/max-Label and 100-Value.
    The Chart-Lines (in the Screen above) only 2 Lines should be visible. v-Axis = 100 and x-Axis=0 (just as a Cross over the Chart)
    The Linear Serie (just a Value of a Funktion like x=y*2) should have no Tooltip if you go MouseOver-it. And the Legend of this Serie should not be displayed in the Legend. How can I delete the Legend, and how can I preserve a DataTip over this LineSerie?
    Hopefully you did understand my bad english.
    Thanks for any Tips
    Pawel

    Hi,
    1. IAxis interface have labelFunction (see docs for details and parameters for it). You can check the value to be labeled and return empty string if you don't want to show this value in axis. Axis you get from chart.getAxis(name). But there is not any warranty that always 0 will be shown. You showl implement your own IAxis to show only specific values. (Or search it in internet)
    2. You should remove all these grid lines and create CartasianDataCanvas this lines at 0 and 100 and put it to annotationElements of the chart.
    3. If you don't want to see all data from chart in Legend you should create an array with legend data only from serieses you want to see. Chart has a property legendData from all serieses. You can filter this array or create new array with legendData from serieses you want to see. And set this array as a dataProvider to Legend.
    Hope, this helpful.

  • Conditional formatting a graph vertical axis in SSRS 2012 charts

    Hi,
    I have a situation where i want to color the label on vertical axis of graph depending on certain condition. Say when values are positive the color would be Black and when negative color would be Red.
    I tried following condition but its not working.  
    =iif(Fields!MyField.Value < 0 , "Red", "Black")
    I know there are few threads already mentioning that this feature is not supported in SSRS 2008 but just wanted to know if its adddressed in SSRS 2012 or later?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Oliver D'mello

    Hi Oliver,
    According to your description, you want to use an expression to specify different color for Axis Labels based on values in a chart.
    As we tested in our environment, when we apply condition in expression to give dynamic color for Axis Labels, the color setting applies to all labels based on the condition. This issue happens in both SQL Server 2012 and 2014. Please refer to the screenshots
    below:
    In this scenario, I would recommend you submit this issue to the Microsoft Connect at this link
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback. This connect site will serve as a connecting point between you and Microsoft, and ultimately the large community for you and Microsoft

  • How to position x-axis dates in column chart

    I have a column chart (see below) which can have one or more series where the x-axis of the series is a date common to each series.  How can I get the date label to appear in the center of each group of columns?  In the case shown
    here, the date label would be exactly where the blue and yellow columns touch, but if there were just one column group it should appear below the center of each column, or if there were three series, it should appear in the center of the middle column,
    and so on.   

    Hello,
    I have a problem similar like this. as
    already comes the positioning of the
    date in the middle.
    But now with Format 
    (double), notindateformat ("dd/
    MM/YYYY").
    What
    can I do to have
    the Format Date  on my Axis X?I use
    the following function
    foreach (DataPoint point in series1.Points)
    //DateTime mydate = DateTime.FromOADate(point);
    area1.AxisX.CustomLabels.Add(new CustomLabel(point.XValue - 1, point.XValue + 1, point.XValue.ToString(), 0, LabelMarkStyle.None));
    //area1.AxisX.CustomLabels.Add(new CustomLabel(point.XValue - 1, point.XValue + 1, point.XValue.ToShortDateString(), 0, LabelMarkStyle.None));
    thank you
    for your help

  • How to add two X Axis in the Column chart?Need Help

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to add two X axis in the SSRS column chart.Can someone please help how to add two X axis. I tried the secondary axis for horizontal axis but current x axis is shifting to other side, second X axis is not coming.
    Regards
    Jon

    Hi Jon,
    According to your description, you want to add secondary X axis for one series in a column chart, right?
    The secondary axis is useful when comparing two value sets with two distinct data ranges that share a common category. In Reporting Services, it’s not supported to create two X axis for one series. We can create secondary X axis when there are two series
    in a column chart. As we tested in our local environment, we can add secondary X axis for specific series. Please refer to the screenshots below:
    So I would like to know what’s your exact needs about creating two X axis for one series. If possible please share some detail information about your data and expected looking of the chart.

  • CR Enterprise - Custom y-axis labels for line chart

    Hi
    I have data with a discrete status (STATUS-1...STATUS-5) per day, like
    Feb 1: STATUS-1
    Feb 2: STATUS-2
    Feb 3: STATUS-2
    Feb 4: STATUS-1
    Feb 30: STATUS-4
    Feb 31: STATUS-1
    This series I'd like to render in a date axis line chart with the daily status ordinals (1-5) on the y-axis.
    Now I wonder how I can label the y-axis ticks with the respective STATUS text instead of the ordinal.
    Unfortunately, the option "Total (Y) Axis/Axis/AxisLabels/Display Label" is disabled due to the value's numeric nature.
    How can I manually overwrite y-axis labels or map them to custom text?
    Thanks. Jens

    HI Jens,
    Have you tried creating a formula and using that in 'Show Values' section of the chart?
    Formula:
    "STATUS-" & {Numeric_field}

  • Axis label texts for charts

    Hello,
    I am using a query with horizontal drillacross as a basis for a chart and 1 key figure.
    The axis legends are showing up as "CHAR/KYF" where CHAR is the characteristic value in the columns and KYF is the key figure column description.
    Is there a way to influence the automatic labelling so that it shows only the characteristic value?
    Having fixed texts is not an option because we don't know in advance what the characteristic values will be.
    Many thanks,
    Pieter
