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.

While learning about chart axes, you will come across two terms, Major and Minor units. 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.

If your chart data values are not so much different from each other, the chart created using this data will not help your audience to differentiate the series representing those values. Our sample data explores how people of different age brackets choose their favorite colors. If you look closely at the data, you will realize that all values span between 285 and 365. So, it makes no sense to even discuss any value lower than 250 or above 370 for this data set.
