Restricting Label Display When a chart is created, every field that is included in has a label displayed along with either axis. Measures will be displayed as numeric values along the Y-axis and fields that are being measured will be displayed along the X-axis. In some cases, those labels may overlap or become difficult to understand, crowd together or read. This problem can be solved by reducing the number of labels that are being displayed on your chart. Reducing Label Display

• Go to the Ad Hoc View Panel and click on the icon to open the Canvas Option
• Select the Chart Format… option from the menu to open the window.
• Click on the Axis
• Go to the Interval between X-axis labels numeric entry box and select how often the axis label will appear. The number that will be entered shall indicate the frequency of the display (enter 2 to display every second label, enter 3 to display every third label etc).
• Repeat this process the same way in the Interval between Y-axis label numeric entry boxes.
• Click on Apply and then click on OK and the labels will appear as entered.
• In order to display every label, open the Axis tab and enter 1 in the numeric entry boxes.

• Repeat the same process in the Rotation of Y-axis labels entry box for measures along the Y-axis.
• Click on Apply and then click Close to rotate the labels.
• Return the labels to their original, horizontal position open the Axis tab and enter the value 0 in the numeric entry boxes.
