Managing Visualization Axes

By default, the axes of your visualizations adjust automatically to your data. If you change the data that is displayed by applying filters or ranks or by drilling down, then the data ranges and scaling of your axes will change to fit the data.

For comparison purposes, you might want to lock the axes and retain the same data ranges and scaling. To lock an axis, click the icon beside the axis heading.

To re-enable automatic adjustments for an axis, click the icon beside the axis heading.

For a locked axis, you can adjust the visible data range. You can adjust the range by dragging the scroll bar that appears over the axis tick marks or by right-clicking a measure heading, and then selecting Set Visible Axis Range.

For a locked axis, you can transfer the axis settings to a compatible visualization. A compatible visualization must have a measure (or frequency) assigned to an axis.

To transfer an axis, right-click the measure heading, and then select Transfer Axis Settings. From the Select Compatible Visualizations window, select the visualization to which you want to transfer the axis settings.
