How to display the x-axis?

Hello,

this should be an easy one, but somehow I couldn't find the settings for this. I want to remove the gridlines on a bar chart and just show the x-axis. Anyone know how?

Hi @Semih87 ,

 

You can continue to add a constant line to the chart.

In the format pane (paint roller icon) it is under Y-Axis and you scroll way down and there is a slider for Gridlines. Turn that off.

Hi Greg,

but this has the effect that also the x-axis disappears 😞 

For example:

I want to have a black line (the zero line) as x axis.

Hi,

 

I already discovered this possibility but the issue, in this case, is that you cannot set the size of the line. So in small visuals, it looks too big, or let's say it's too dominant.

 

Thank you.
