Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Reposition and Hide Axis Labels

Do you like the default positions where PowerPoint places your axis labels? Yes, we do believe that the defaults do work best because audiences expect these labels to exist at these familiar locations. However, there may be times when you probably don’t even need labels for your axes — or you may want them placed in another location so that your charts look cleaner. Whatever your purpose may be, it is indeed possible to change the position of axis labels vis-à-vis the axis.

Learn how to hide the axis labels and also how to reposition them in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.

Axis Labels are the labels for the Categories and Values on chart axes. So, where do these labels come from? Category axis labels reflect the Category names within your data (typically within the built-in Excel sheet). Values on the other hand are determined by PowerPoint based upon the maximum value in your data — the minimum value is always set to zero. Of course you can change the Minimum and Maximum values if you want.

These are the intervals at which the axis spaces itself — as the name itself suggests, you can choose to space the axis at two levels: Major and Minor. PowerPoint sets the Major and Minor units on its own — many times, this may be exactly what you need. At other times, you may want to set specific intervals for the Major and Minor units for several reasons.
