How to move Month to top and how to rotate the name of the axis?

Alex Lin Jan 22, 2018 8:03 PM

Hi,

I created a worksheet containing multiple measures. See below for the snapshot. However, I can't format the worksheet in the way I wanted:

1. The Month is at the bottom but I would like to put it on the top;

2. The name of the axis is shown vertically and I would like to rotate the name. I found a way to add a dummy title (on the left) but it's difficult to align the descriptions with the charts.

Can anyone help? Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Here is the answer of your first question.
Go to Analysis > Table Layout > Advance and un-tick the encircled option.

Hope this helps.

Hi Alex,

unfortunately you can't change the position of the axis - it will always be at the bottom.
A workaround for it is duplicating the chart and formatting it in a way it will show now data, just the axis.
Now, having the bare axis you can organize the two charts in desired way in a dashboard.

As for rotating axis' labels go with what Tushar posted.

Thanks Tushar. It works perfectly.

However, for the axis rotating, it seems that those workaround mentioned in the posts you shared are a bit overwork. Thanks anyway for the sharing.

Cheers,
Alex
