How to display x-axis title on a short bar chart

We have some smaller horizontal and vertical bar charts where we want to display the x-axis title. However, it is only displayed when the height of the visual is >= 387. Is there a way to display the title when the height is < 387?

Hi @MikeB

some options:

  1. Resize the Visual: Increase the height of the visual to the threshold where the x-axis title becomes visible. This might involve adjusting the layout of your dashboard to accommodate the larger visual.
  2. Add a Text box and overlay it on the X-axis title: If resizing is not feasible, consider using text boxes as manual labels for your axis. This isn’t as elegant as having the axis title directly attached to the chart, but it can serve as a workaround to ensure viewers understand the chart’s context.

@gillepa Thank you for the reply and suggestions. I was hoping there was a way to turn off or modify the height limitation. We have the ability to hide or show the label, but cannot show it when the height is < 387. It would be nice to have an option to show it no matter the height.

We have some charts with only a few data points, so they are fairly small. I would hate to increase them by 50% just to show the title. I’ll keep the 2nd option in mind for some solutions, but that wouldn’t work here as we want the title in order to provide the user the option to change the sorting. (without needing to expand the visual)

Hello @MikeB and @gillepa !

@MikeB were you able to find a solution to this or was @gillepa 's suggestion helpful? If so could you either share your solution to help the community or mark one of the comments above as the solution?

Hello @MikeB and @gillepa !

@MikeB there may be a way to remove the limitation in an embedded experience but there is no way to do this with the current UI in Quicksight.

I will mark this as a feature request for the Quicksight team.
