Multiline dimension legends

Fri, 28 May 2010 15:42:59 GMT

Hello

I cannot find a way to have multiline dimension legends in Bar chart. I would like to wrap dimension legend into 2 lines but I'm only able to do that in Staright Table or Pivot Table Charts.

Can anyone help?

do not see an option to make it multiline. You can press SHIFT+CTRL when in the chart and it will give you the option to resize the drawing areas (the red lines can be moved)

Thanks for the reply!!!

The scenario is, I have two fields First Name and Last Name loaded as Name field. Using Name as one of the Dimensions in the bar chart. Need to display the First Name and Last Name as separate lines in the chart.

Apology for not explaining in detail earlier.

Hi Sugith,

I hav'nt found an option to do it. In fact we had few scenarios where we had big dimension names but we had to reduce it abbreviations and provide a textbox expanding the abbreviations next to the graph for user understanding.
