Axis Scale dialog box

You can format a Graph visualization to determine how the minimum and maximum values are calculated for the axes of each graph in the visualization. To do so, use the options in the Axis Scale dialog box. The following options are available:

Note: The options available may vary based on your selections and the number and placement of metrics displayed on the X-axis and Y-axis of your visualization.

Scale For: From the drop-down list, select the metrics that you want to specify axis formatting options for, as follows:

All Metrics: Format options for all metrics in the visualization.

X Axis Metrics: Format options for all metrics on the X-axis.

Y Axis Metrics: Format options for all metrics on the Y-axis.

Metric Name: Format a specific metric.

Set To: To determine how to display the axes for the metrics selected in the Scale For drop-down list above, select one of the following:

Global (default): Display each of the selected metrics on axes with the same minimum and maximum values.

Per row/column: Display the selected metrics using the same minimum and maximum Y-axis values across each column of graphs, and the same X-axis values across each row of graphs.

Per Cell: Allow the application to display the selected metrics using the axis values best suited to display the metric data.

Custom: Define specific minimum and maximum values to use to display the selected metrics. In the Min and Max fields, type the minimum and maximum axis values. For example, if you selected Profit in the Scale For drop-down list, and you want to display the Profit metric on an axis that includes values from 0 to 5 million, type 0 in the Min field and 5000000 in the Max field.

Click OK when finished to apply your changes.
