Value Axis

The Value Axis displays the values of a chart. It defines how numeric data points are scaled, grouped, and ordered along the axis and corresponds directly to the Values slot in the Data Binding tab. For more information about how fields are assigned to data binding slots, see the Data Binding article.

Disable the Value Axis

You can hide the Value Axis by setting Show Axis to False under Value Axis properties.

Disabling the Value Axis is particularly useful when value information is already displayed directly on the chart through data labels. In these scenarios, removing the axis can reduce visual clutter while preserving readability. For more details, see the Value Data Label section of the Data Labels article.

Max Value, Min Value, Interval

You can control the Max Value, Min Value, and Interval of your Value Axis by assigning a numeric value to each property.

For example, this chart has a Max Value of 50,000,000 (50M), a Min Value of 0, and an Interval of 5,000,000 (5M).

Axis Position

Automatically, the Axis Position is set to Left, but it can also be set to the right as in the example below.

Reversed

You can reverse the Value Axis by enabling Reversed. When this option is enabled, values increase from top to bottom, and the categorical axis is automatically moved to the top of the chart, as shown in the example below.

Axis Line Properties

You can disable the axis line by setting Show Axis Line to False. You can also customize the appearance of the Value Axis line by adjusting the following properties:

• Axis Line Width

• Axis Line Color

• Axis Line Type (solid or dashed)

For example, the chart below has an axis line width of 3, an axis line color set to red, and an axis line type set to dashed.

Grid Line Properties

You can enable grid lines to improve readability by setting Show Grid Lines to True. Grid lines help you visually track data points across the chart and align them with the Value Axis.

You can further customize grid lines by adjusting the Grid Line Width, Grid Line Color, and Grid Line Type.

For example, in the chart below, grid lines have been enabled.

Show Tick Labels, Tick Marks, and Title

You can individually enable or disable Tick Labels, Tick Marks, and the Axis Title. By default, tick labels and tick marks are enabled, while the axis title is disabled.

If the Axis Title is enabled, you can also insert a Custom Title. In addition to this, the Axis Title displays the unit in the label. By default, the Display Units' Label is enabled.

For example, in the chart below, the chart has Tick Labels, Tick Marks, and an Axis Title.

Format

You can control how values are displayed on the Value Axis by setting the Format property. Available options include General, Number, Currency, Percentage, or a custom format.

For example, in the chart below, the Value Axis format has been set to Currency.

Display Unit

The Display Unit of the Value Axis is set to Auto by default. You can manually set it to Auto, None, Thousands, Millions, Billions, or Trillions, depending on how you want values to be scaled and displayed.

Label Direction

You can change the orientation of Value Axis labels using the Label Direction property. Labels can be displayed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

For example, in the chart below, the Value Axis labels have been set to diagonal.

Axis Font Settings

You can further customize the appearance of Value Axis labels by adjusting font-related properties, including:

• Font family

• Font size

• Font color

• Font weight

• Font style (italic or normal)

These settings allow you to align Value Axis labels with the overall visual design and branding of your dashboard.
