The column chart does not display all the x-axis values

How can I display all the year labels on the x-axis? Currently, they’re only showing intermittently.
Thank you!

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":

  • If you see Type, set it to Categorical instead of "Continuous.
  • If you see Concatenate labels, set it to Off.

Check the "Maximum size" or "Inner padding":

  • Reduce inner padding to make space for all labels.

Turn "Word wrap" On (optional) to avoid overlap if labels are long.


Thanks,
Bhavin
