X axis labels in Charts

[former_member213259]

Hello All,

I am using column charts in my Xcelsius Dashboard (Xcelsius 2008 - SP5). The X-axis labels are too lengthy, it is displaying vertically. The requirement is to display the names horizontally and wrap the text. I cannot use label component as workaround as the names are populated dynamically. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Sowrabha,

                       What data you are not able to view. If the labels  then I don't think you can get refreshed data. Here you have to manually map to those labels.

Thanks&Regards,

Hi Sowrabha,

I think you can try applying Wrap text for the columns where x-axis data you are mapping from connection to show on a bar chart and decrease column size to wrap the test

Or I use 'Bar chart' instead of 'column chart'  to display lengthy labels that looks fine for any long customer names

Hi,

This is common issue for all our developers, i will suggested you some workaround please try and let me know.

1. If series values are less in horizontly then try to use bar chart and see whether it suits for you.

2. Use the range slider to display only first 4 or 3 values, so that you can get the entire text without shrinked, later on they can slide to see all values.

3. try to apply the below given logic, i haven't dont this. I thought it would be helpful for you.

Hope it helps!!!
