Add Nested Labels to Graphs

Nested axis labels display hierarchical information in a meaningful, easy-to-read manner. For example, time-based data like Year, Quarter, and Month, or geographic data like Region and Country benefit from nesting, or grouping, sub-elements under the relevant parent. You can use nested labels in bar, line, area, dual-axis, pie, ring, bubble, and scatter graphs.

1. Drag and drop the attributes onto the axis in relevant order.

   

You can also use the Editor panel to place the attributes in relevant order along the axis.



2. If necessary, disable nested labels by deselecting Enabled nested label in the Format panel.

   

3. To avoid truncation in the x-axis, enable label rotation in the Format panel. Consider abbreviating longer words or strings.
