Congested X-Axis Range

Hello,

 

I have an X-axis as follows:

Is there anyway to de-mark the different values in the range of the X-Axis line so they appear more clearly than they are presently such as a boundary line - or alternative colours - although that might look messy and clash with the Column bars of the graph itself.

 

The entire page is "very busy" with six such graphs - so I won't be able to increase the width of each of the graphs nor space out the values range through this function:

That's why I was looking at either a boundary lines or alternating colours solution, if feasible ?

 

Kindly Advise

I simply flipped the X-Axis to be vertical, and its looking much better now !

Unfortunately the page is bit too dense to further increase the heights of the graphs..I also felt that slanting the X-Axis labels might be a bit intense for the eyes:

If you don't want to use a custom visual and you have the option to play around with the height of the visual (either by changing the height of the actual visual or by changing the title setup/padding/y-axis range), then if you set X-axis Values Maximum height to 15% you can get these slanted x-axis titles. You need to just try what height works. Not sure if it will be clear enough, but maybe clearer anyway.

Would you consider vertical axis labels?  That's something you could do with Deneb.
