Set the y-axis range

You can have multiple measures on the y-axis of many charts. You can manually set the y-axis range by selecting edit from the y-axis label dropdown, or from the chart configuration menu.

Setting the y-axis range from the axis label

To set the y-axis range:

  1. While viewing your answer as a chart, select the dropdown menu icon Dropdown icon image next to the y-axis label you want to change.

  2. Select edit.

    Click edit
  3. Under Min and Max, set the y-axis range by specifying start and end values.

    In this example, the original chart shows sales values by department from 0 to over $5M. We can enter a y-axis range of 2500000 to 5000000 to show only sales between $2.5M and $5M.

    The chart reorganizes itself to reflect the new y-axis range.

    To change the range for gross profit margin, select the dropdown menu icon next to the gross profit margin axis label.

  4. Under Min and Max, set the y-axis range by specifying start and end values.

    In this example, the original chart shows sales values by department from 0 to over $5M. We can enter a y-axis range of 2500000 to 5000000 to show only sales between $2.5M and $5M.

Create charts with multiple measures on the y-axis

You can have multiple measures on the y-axis of most (but not all) chart types. You can configure this in the chart configuration panel, by dragging and dropping measures out of the not visualized section. To learn more, see these topics:
