Per default, Excel changes the axis to fit the data. I want to set a fixed x-axis on my chart, e.g. from 0 to 2.
This is to avoid the disturbing resizing shown in the gif below:
I'm using Office 365 Home. I've looked for this setting, but simply can't find it.
Try right clicking on the axis, select format axis then you should get a menu on the right to set the maximum value of the axis. See the screenshots below.
Format axis:
Set the maximum value to 2.

Small dataset in Excel as a Table. A slicer is added. And, I made a scatter plot from it.
The scatter size is set to larger than default but when I choose from slicer, the size of scatters jumped back to default size (smaller).
For example, Kate's in the screenshot.
What's the way to fix the scatter sizes?
Excel file: Scatter plot.xlsx
Select Kate > Select the graph > Format > Current Selection : Vertical/Horintal Axis > Try Fix the value here (no Auto)
Does it work on ur excel version?
I'm having trouble with a combination chart. I'm using the old-school chart because same vis in the Legacy Visualizations and New Visualizations forces a second values axis with a different scale on the right. I don't want that.
The trouble I'm having is that not all of the observations are showing up. I have a page with a chart and a list. Both use the same query, but some observations are missing from the chart.
[MATSLabNumberNumeric] = cast ( substring ( [MATS Lab Number], 6 ), int ) where MATS Lab Number is like FA0200088 (for the first observation in the list). All observations are displayed if the MATS Lab Number is used, but not if MATSLabNumberNumeric is used.
I tried resizing the chart, but as expected, changing the layout had no effect on the data being presented. It just made the columns wider or narrower.
I have had the same results in all combinations of these:
Cognos Analytics 11.0.13
Cognos Analytics 11.1.7
Interactive Viewer
Compatible Viewer
11.4 styles
10.x styles
combination chart
bar chart
column chart
area chart
line chart
Any idea what could be causing this? Is there a property I inadvertently flipped?
You can try adjusting the width of the chart under the Size and Overflow property.
I have a chart that I am using to keep track of weekly data. It is a Pivot table with an attached graph. Every week when I refresh the data the chart moves back to the following picture.
Graph
With the Data labels shoved inside of the bottom of the chart. I Spend a bit of time every week moving all of them back down. I would like to anchor them with the upper right corner attaching to the bottom axis. The only placement option in the Pivot chart are Center, Inside End, Inside Base, Outside end. I am using inside base to get the picture I mentioned.
Here is what I change it to each week. As you can see I drag all of them down individually and try to get them to line up as best as I can by hand. But they are never perfect.
I have finally found my problem, The issue was I was using Data Labels and not axis labels.
If you are having this problem go Pivotchart tools > Design > Add chart Element > Axes > Primary Horizontal.
I have several bar charts, all configured to show Data Labels.
The data labels object box is showing (I can also apply Fill and Border colors to it). However, this object is always EMPTY. Regardless of what I tick to show (e.g. Values, Values from Cells, Series Name, etc...) - it is always empty, with the minimum (shrunk) width (as it should expand per the value presented). If I tick to show the "Legend Key" - a colored square does show to the left of the empty label box.
There's no issue with the font definition, or colors, but it seems as if some underlying theme-wide setting is causing this behavior with all charts on this Workbook.
I have a matching Workbook before some formatting (branding) were applied, in which Data Labels are working just fine. I compared all Data Labels settings and options - they are identical.
Any idea where else can I look?
Thanks!
Updating here that the issue is solved.
I believe it is some sort of a bug in Excel 2016.
I deleted the Data Labels and Re-created them, now it is working normally.
I have to delete per each chart where this problem was evident.

The x axis on the table is not showing the x-values I in my data.
I want the corresponding date for each point directly below it.
Excel (2007) has just added random dates.
Any idea how I can get the correct dates to be shown?
Under your chart tools, go "Layout -> Data Labels" and choose the one you're happy with. The option's right up there with your chart title, Axis, Legend options etc.
{sorry, just added a picture of the first thing open on my computer}
Enjoy...
