Casual Excel Multi Level Category Labels

Alternatively you can highlight the data for the chart and select a chart from the Insert Chart section of the ribbon.

Excel multi level category labels. This image shows the pivot table slicers and data together. When I chart this data I use the first three columns as the Horizontal Category axis but the Check_Timestamp column is shown with a dd-mmm-yy hhmmss format not the custom ddm format that Id like. As a consequence the chart has an unreadable line of dates in the x-axis labels and I can find no way to adjust the format to.

Only the inner-most set of a multi level category axis can be controlled either through the UI or VBA. You can change the alignment of axis labels on both horizontal category and vertical value axes. There is no UI control for that and nothing in the VBA object model.

In some situations your chart might come with long category names. The final or 3rd level text labels in my example. Group two-level axis labels with Pivot Chart in Excel.

There are slicers used to select the data. Multi-category chart or multi-level category chart is a chart type that has both main category and subcategory labels. I would like both sets of the multi-level category labels to be vertically aligned.

Its important to know that this checkbox only appears when the axis labels range includes another set of values. A multi-level category chart can display both the main category and subcategory labels at the same time. Hi SThomson Which version of Excel are you using.

If you make a chart from this data you will end up with some very long labels that are going to be shown verticall or so. Change orientation of multiple category labels Attached is a sample file showing a simple horizontal bar chart. The first two cells in the top row are blank to instruct Excel to use the first row as series names and the first two columns as category labels.
