How can I display all the year labels on the x-axis? Currently, they’re only showing intermittently.
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Select the Chart – Click on the column chart where year labels are missing.
In the Visualizations pane, go to the Format pane.
Expand the X-Axis section.
Scroll down to "Type" or "Concatenate labels":
Check the "Maximum size" or "Inner padding":
Turn "Word wrap" On (optional) to avoid overlap if labels are long.

The problem is that if you want to show a trend line, you have to use "Continuous" which then not only shows labels under certain bars, but they are not necessarily under the right bar - so maddening! I cannot upload the screenshot for some reason, but I am showing a rolling 12 calendar months. It has January 2026 under the December column of the chart. I've tried to use Year and Month from the Date Hierarchy, separate Year and Month fields, etc. - nothing works when you want to have a trend line. 😞
