Format chart axis position

You can add a second y-axis, or change the position of the y-axis on a chart. For horizontal charts, you can add a second x-axis or change the position of the x-axis instead.

Formatting the chart axis is available for the following visualization types:

• Bar charts
• Box and whisker charts
• Combo charts
• Line charts
• Scatter plots
• Waterfall charts

Requirements

• To use this feature, you must have Can Edit or Can Explore access to the individual workbook.

Change the position of the chart axis

After adding at least one column to the y-axis (for vertical charts) or the x-axis (for horizontal charts), you can change the position of the axis.

Before you start: This action uses the editor panel. If you have not done so already, open the editor panel from either Explore or Edit mode; see Workbook modes.

1. In the editor panel, hover over the y-axis column name, then click the caret () to open the column menu.
2. For Axis, select the image that shows the axis in the position that you want.
   
   The chart updates with the axis in the new position.
