How to modify bar chart axis label orientation?

Does anyone know how to move bar chart label position? Can you label be showing vertically rather than horizontally?

The default of my is at the bottom of the bar

There's no option to move the labels, but they're usually at the top of the bar (or middle for stacked bars), so I may be missing something if yours are at the bottom.

A couple ugly work-arounds.

Use text annotation (in the Tools menu) and enter the text manually
Put the label in a label column and add labeled markers to the graph under the top of the bar. The labels for markers ("Points" in Graph Builder) are movable.

Hi bernie426,

Are you referring to the axis labels for each bar? If so, double click the X axis and you will be able to change the orientation of the labels. You might try vertical, or angled, if you are working with long category labels.

I hope this helps!
