Format chart axis position

You can change the position of the y-axis on a chart or add a second y-axis. For horizontal charts, you can add a second x-axis or change the position of the x-axis instead. This allows you to create dual-axis charts and charts with a single shared axis in order to customize how you display data from two different series on the same chart.

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