Bar Chart Properties – Value Axis

Single scale

Option	Description
Columns	Specifies the columns or hierarchy to be displayed on the value axis.
Settings...	[Not available in this visualization.]
Single scale	Select this option to use only one scale on the value axis. The scale will be common to all the measures.
Dual scales	Select this option if you want to show two scales on the value axis, one scale to the left of the bars and one scale to the right in a vertical bar chart (or at the top and bottom of the bars for a horizontal bar chart). Each scale can be shared by more than one measure. This option is suitable, if the magnitudes of your measures vary too much to be presented on the same scale, and two scales are enough to meet your needs. However, more than two measures can be shown as measures can share scale.
Multiple scales	Select this option to show more than two scales on the value axis. By default, you get one scale for each color that is defined on the color axis, and the different scales can be displayed on the left as well as the right side of the bars in a vertical bar chart (or at the top and bottom of the bars for a horizontal bar chart). For example, use this option if you want to display several measures of very different magnitudes in the same visualization.
Range
Min	Determines the lower value of the axis range. Leave the field blank to automatically adjust the range to the currently lowest value in the filtered data.
Max	Determines the upper value of the axis range. Leave the field blank to automatically adjust the range to the currently highest value in the filtered data.
Set to Current Range	Allows you to set the axis range to the currently filtered values.
Include origin	[Available for continuous axes only.] Always includes the value 0 on the axis, regardless of filtering.
Show zoom slider	Shows a zoom slider that you can manually manipulate to view only the interesting segments of the bar chart.
Show gridlines	Specifies whether gridlines should be visible. Comment: This refers to vertical gridlines in a horizontal bar chart, and horizontal gridlines in a vertical bar chart.
Scale labels
Show labels	Specifies whether scale labels should be visible.
Horizontally	Shows scale labels horizontally.
Vertically	Shows scale labels vertically.
Max number of labels	Select the check box to specify a maximum number of scale labels to be shown. Limiting the number of labels can improve readability on axis scales with many values.
Scale
To the left	Select this option to place the scale on the left-hand side in a vertical bar chart.
To the right	Select this option to place the scale on the right-hand side in a vertical bar chart.
At the bottom	Select this option to place the scale at the bottom in a horizontal bar chart.
At the top	Select this option to place the scale on the top in a horizontal bar chart.
Reverse scale	Reverses the current sort order on the scale.

Dual scales

Scale settings
Left scale/Right scale/Bottom scale/Top scale	Lists the measures displayed on the left and right scale, respectively (or for horizontal bar charts, the top and bottom scales). Use the arrows to move a measure from one scale to the other.
Scale Range	Opens the Scale Range dialog where you can specify the range of the selected scale, and also determine whether to include the origin (0, 0).
Show labels	Specifies whether scale labels should be visible.
Horizontally	Shows scale labels horizontally.
Vertically	Shows scale labels vertically.
Max number of labels	Select the check box to specify a maximum number of scale labels to be shown. Limiting the number of labels can improve readability on axis scales with many values.
Show gridlines	Specifies whether or not gridlines should be visible. Comment: This refers to vertical gridlines in a horizontal bar chart, and horizontal gridlines in a vertical bar chart.
Reverse scale	Reverses the current sort order on the scale.
Log scale	[Not available in this visualization.]
Zoom
Show zoom slider	Shows a zoom slider that you can manually manipulate to view only the interesting segments of the bar chart.

Individual scaling
For each color	Use this option to get one scale for each color that is defined on the color axis. This gives you the possibility to display more than two scales on the value axis. Note that you should apply true categorical coloring before using this option. If you use a continuous column on the color axis, you may end up with a different result than the expected. This applies even if the continuous color mode looks "categorical" at first sight.
For each trellis panel	Use this option to display one scale for each trellis panel.
Zoom
Show zoom slider	Shows a zoom slider that you can manually manipulate to view only the interesting segments of the bar chart.
Show gridlines	Specifies whether gridlines should be visible. Comment: This refers to vertical gridlines in a horizontal bar chart, and horizontal gridlines in a vertical bar chart.
Scale labels
Show labels	Specifies whether scale labels should be visible.
Horizontally	Shows scale labels horizontally. Note: Only available for individual scaling for each trellis panel.
Vertically	Shows scale labels vertically. Note: Only available for individual scaling for each trellis panel.
Max number of labels	Select the check box to specify a maximum number of scale labels to be shown. Limiting the number of labels can improve readability on axis scales with many values.
Individual scale settings
[Drop-down list]	Select the scale for which you wish to change the settings. Select All scales to change settings for all scales simultaneously.
Scale Range...	Opens the Scale Range dialog where you can specify the range of the selected scale, and also determine whether to include the origin (0, 0).
Position scale	Specifies which side of the visualization the scales should be positioned. The available alternatives vary depending on whether the bars are displayed vertically or horizontally.
To the left	Select this option to place the selected scale on the left-hand side in a vertical bar chart.
To the right	Select this option to place the selected scale on the right-hand side in a vertical bar chart.
At the bottom	Select this option to place the selected scale at the bottom in a horizontal bar chart.
At the top	Select this option to place the selected scale at the top in a horizontal bar chart.
Reverse scale	Reverses the current sort order on the scale.
