rotate labels
how to make labels slanted on below bar chart so that it should not cut off
Labels are placed vertically because there isn't enough space for diagonal placement either. Only if there's sufficient space, labels will be placed horizontally or diagonally before defaulting to vertical.

We don't have the option to manually format the 'layout type' of the X-axis. The engine automatically adjusts it based on the available space, following this order:
Horizontal – if there is enough space.
Diagonal – if there isn't enough space for horizontal.
Vertical – if there isn't enough space for diagonalIf this post helps, then please consider Accepting it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly

Hi Ritaf1983 ,
in my case there is not much horizontal space left, so engine should automatically adjust it diagonally right?
