Hi,

I have question about horizontal axis labes on bar graph.

I want to change ma horizontal labels to: name || name || name or name , name , name?

I know that I can change Format: Horizontal Axis Labels, however, there is no possibility to change the display format.

Default values are only separate space.

Any suggestions?

    Hi,

    I can see that this is a bit of a strange requirement..

    Have a look at the XML and see if you can find a piece of code to edit the graph axis?

    Otherwise, as a workaround:

    You could change the column formulas of your horizontal columns to be:

    concat("Date"."Year",',')

    And the same for the rest of them (apart from the last column on the axis). They will then display on the horizontal axis as

    2016, 2016 / 01, 1/31/2016

    However this does change the actual values, so it's not just changing the horizontal axis. Something to think about.

    in the following example I had month (YYYY/MM) and revenue ... I added another column (Month || ' in ' || Quarter) ... then used that as my horizontal axis column ...  just make sure you create your custom column at the same grain as the x-axis column you really wanted to use (in your case looks like day or date)
