Editing Axis Text
Hi Hawkeye,
As we can see from the picture, the blue square part is the title of the axis. Did you mean you want to change the name of the part in the red square? If so, more than one value (name) would be a group. So we can change its name into "group A" or something else.
Did you mean this?
Best Regards!

Hi Hawkeye,
You can do it in the "Format" of Power BI Desktop. I guess most of the visuals have such settings.
Best Regards!

Sorry! My fault for not explaining clearly.
So, for example, my Axis is named sales, and the report that the data is drawn from has the text of (for example):
- Sales Ashton, Burton, Colleridge
- Sales Tusome, Stoke, Wigan
and I'd like to shorten these on the axis to read something like:
- Sales A - C
- Sales T - W
Edit Alias in Tableau allows you to do that for individual row items without further data editing; I was just wondering if there was similar for Power Bi, or if I'd need to use another column in the datasheet with tidied up names and use that as labels.
Thanks
Sorry to bump this - just curious as to if it's possible, or if it's something I should address in the data before importing.

Thanks! Yes, that's what I wanted, a way to change the text in the red square - and using Groups seems like a pretty good way to manage this.
Thanks again
