    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.

  • Hi powerbiexpert22 

    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 diagonal

    Hi Ritaf1983 ,

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