Bar/Line View: Truncated bar labels?

aalias · July 11, 2014 12:05AM

Hi, how do I get the bar lines not to truncate and to show in full?
I've tried increasing the font size and maximising the pane/split label size limit but there is no difference (that i can see). It's very hard to read the labels when they are so small.

Under the Layout menu in the Bar/Line view there are several settings that will enable you to increase the margin /label space, or change the font size. Please try
Pane/split labels size limit, Pane/split labels orientation, Pane/tile margin, Font size...

Another option would be to combine long bars with long labels and display the label inside, removing the need for the axis labelling... Choose your category field under the Stack and tick the 'Labelled' option (see little triangle menu).

Thanks. I gave the second option a try and will be presenting that chart to the client this week. Hopefully they like it!

Welcome!
