Axis Title and Rotation

Adding a title to an axis clarifies what is charted along that axis. Axis titles can be added to Area, XY-Plot, Bar, HiLo, HiLoOpenClose or Candle charts. The title or the annotation along the axis can also be rotated.

Adding an axis title

Use the axis Text property to add a title to an axis. To remove the title, delete the text. The Text property is located on the ChartAxes Collection Editor.

Note: An axis title for the Y axis cannot be added to Polar, Radar or Filled Radar charts.

Rotating Axis Title

Use the axis Rotation property to rotate the axis title to 90, 180, or 270 degrees. The 90 and 270-degree rotations are most efficient for vertical axes.
