How to reduce the number of values displayed on x-axis of a chart?

Hi,

I have a line chart which uses "time" as dimension which has the value in the intervals of 15 mins (Format is hh:mm:ss). X - axis of this graph displays all the values in the "time" field which looks very clumsy in the graph. So how can i reduce this frequency of values on x - axis to display just very 4th value without changing the graph? I mean i just want to hide few values on the x - axis.

Thank you.

Hi Apoorva!

Try this: in Chart Properties dialog, in Axes Tab, set the Primary (and Secondary) Labels to horizontal mode ("-" option). This will heap the time values displayed. Then uncheck the "Stagger Labels" option.

Hope it helps!

My graph looks like the one in the attached image. What i would like to achieve is, i what my graph to look the same, but the frequency of "time" values displayed on x-axis should be reduced.

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for the reply. I tried this solution, but it gives me the graph only for time, 12:00:00 AM.
