after
values on the
corresponding axes. This text postfix will appear after grid labels, value labels and

X-Axis Minor
and

, and
Y-Axis Minor
and
Major Interval
settings
control the minor and major scale steps, used for the axis labels, the tick marks,
and the grid on your chart. If not set, the steps are calculated automatically. Values
entered must be positive. These settings will only be used when Show Grid in
Display Settings is set.
•
Decimal Places
defines the number of decimal places to be used in the Y Axis
values.
Note
All these settings are static, so you can't use page items to dynamically set them. However, if you want to
set, for example, the Y Axis Min value dynamically depending the data you return, you can set Custom XML to Yes
on the Chart XML page, and include your substitution strings there (for example,
&PAGE_ITEM
).
