Knowing how to add axis labels is one thing  getting full control over scale, gridlines, tick marks, and secondary axes on a PowerPoint chart is another, especially when the chart’s data is linked from an Excel sheet. Ampler Charts gives you all of this in one place, directly inside PowerPoint.

What you’ll learn in this video:

  • How to format chart axes from a single panel in PowerPoint
  • How to set y-axis scale, tick mark spacing, and axis position
  • How to add axis titles, tick mark labels, gridlines, and change scale type
  • How to add a value axis break
  • How to set the same scale across multiple charts
  • How to add a secondary y-axis
  • How to format the x-axis title, tick mark labels, and gridlines
  • How to switch to a date scale

Formatting axes in native PowerPoint charts often means jumping between several different format panes just to add a secondary axis or adjust gridline spacing. Ampler Charts consolidates all axis formatting, scale, tick marks, gridlines, axis breaks, and secondary axes, into a single, consistent panel inside PowerPoint, whether your chart’s data is entered directly or linked from Excel.
