Customizing the Value Axis:

  • Within the same “Axes” settings, find the value axis.
  • Set the grid line width to your desired thickness (e.g., 2) in the “Other” dropdown menu.
  • Adjust the “Tick Interval” to align with the range of your dataset.

For example,The tick interval is like the spacing between marks on a ruler. For example, if your data goes from 0 to 100 and you set the tick interval to 10, you’ll see marks every 10 units (0, 10, 20, 30, …, 100). This makes it easier to understand the scale of your data. Adjusting the tick interval based on your data’s range helps keep the chart easy to read.
