Spacing on graphs

Hi,

The x axis on my graph is very cramped, the labels are too close together, and it makes for difficult analysis.

I've turned the "scrollbar on" and asked it to display 52 items, but I would rather it did it over a wide range, and not have the points so close together. How can i change the spacing of data items on the x axis?

Should also be noted that it's a line graph not a bar chart...

Point is not to space the bars, or the points on the line..

purpose is to increase the gaps between the x axis data label thingies.

At the moment i've got "show 52 points" and i have 52 points.. but i don't have 52 labels corresponding, nor has the scrollbar enabled itself.

I can't unfortunatly.

But I still don't think that will do what i want for the line chart.

It will just move widen or narrow the bars on a chart.

I just want to space the x axis entries further apart.

See if checking the box 'split Axis and reducing font size helps..!

Hi,

Try this .. If the labels are close then you can change the position of label from horizontal to vertical.

Chart properties ->Axes-> Primary Dimension Labels - choose vertical or slant position

Do you really need a line chart, or is it possible to group the dimensions on the x axis? Is it really important to see all detail on the x-axis from start or could you instead use a drill-down-group?

You can scramble the data in the docuement and then post it here.
