Formatting a visual
How to format your visual exactly the way you want.
Once you’ve created a visual, you can adjust how your data is displayed. Formatting options control the appearance and readability of your chart.
Control how data is presented along your chart axes.
Edit axis – Change the measure or dimension used for an axis.
Format axis – Adjust scale, tick marks, and number formatting.
Spacing – Add or reduce padding around axis labels.
Rotation – Rotate labels for readability.
Show/Hide axis – Toggle an axis on or off.
Add and format labels to show exact values.
Format, move, or hide the legend.
Add and style a title for a visualization.
Add, remove, or customize tooltip data.
Format the chart, rather than the data (background, gridlines, borders, fonts, text sizes).
These options affect the placement, layout, and overall control of a visual in your canvas:
Flip visual: Swap X and Y axes.
Fill available space: Resize the chart to fill the visual cell.
Resize to fit: Adjust the visual cell size to neatly fit the chart.
Show data: Display the underlying data table.
Reset visual: Revert the chart to a blank state.
Scroll anchor position: Set where the chart scrolls from
