Hello Team,

 

I have long text labels that need to represented on the axis, is there a way other than font size to rotate this labels by 45 or 90 deegre in a line chart visual. I can see this option in bar chart but could not find any suct otion for Line chart.

 

Thanks in advance.

@sahilk I don't think you can change the angle of the x-axis. Post this as an idea on ideas forum.

Hi @sahilk , 

Yes, as @parry2k  mentioned and I test this in my environment, I didn't find this option in setting. In addition, when you decrease the width of chart, it will automatically change its rotating like below
