Currently i have 4 measures in my line chart and it is hard to read the title of y axis. Is any way to customize Y axis label if we have multiple measures in qlik sense? Like we just show 1 name for y axis?

Yes, there are a few ways to handle this in Qlik Sense.

Option 1: Use a custom axis label in the chart properties In the line chart properties, go to Appearance > Y-axis and look for the "Label" field. You can type any static text there, such as "Values" or "Amount (USD)", and it will replace all the individual measure names on the axis.

Option 2: Leave the Y-axis label empty and rely on the legend This is actually the most common approach when you have multiple measures. Disable or clear the Y-axis label entirely and let the chart legend do the job of identifying each measure. It is cleaner and easier to read than trying to summarize four different measures in a single axis title.

Option 3: Use a dual-axis layout If your measures have very different scales (for example, revenue in millions and quantity in units), consider splitting them into a primary and secondary Y-axis. Qlik Sense supports this natively in line charts. Each axis can have its own label, which makes the chart much more readable.

Option 4: Rename the measures directly In the chart properties under Data > Measures, you can give each measure a short, clean label instead of the full expression name. This does not solve the axis crowding issue directly, but combined with a single axis label it makes the overall chart much easier to interpret.

For four measures on a single axis, the combination of Option 1 and Option 2 usually works best: set one meaningful axis label and let the legend handle the individual measure identification.

Hope that helps!

thanks for your reply but i don't find the option 1 either cloud or enterprise version. Option 1 is the one i want but seem like i will use option 2
