Bar chart Y axis label

[Craig]

I have a bar chart on my report with hours of the day on the Y-axis. See the attached image. Instead of displaying 1-24 I would like it to display , etc

Is there a way to custom format these labels?

Hi Craig,

This can be achieved with a custom format string set for the GraphAxis.LabelFormat property. For example, you can use "{0:h tt}" format string.

More detailed information about custom Date and Time Format Strings can be found in this article.

Hope this will help.

Thanks. this doesn't work. The axis is not a date column, they are just numbers 1-24. When I add this format string in it seems to have no effect.

Ignore that, I converted the column to be a date/time type and it is now ok. One thing I would like to know is how to ensure it always shows all bars even if the value is zero.

Hello Craig,

If the value fo the series is zero, the bar will not be displayed. You can still display the DataPointLabel for this bar by setting Series.DataPointLabelStyle.Visible property to true.
