Hi Julian,

when you want to have dates you could switch the formatting of the x scale to show dates. Use the advanced formatting options...

Hi Julian,

the scales only display numbers (either formatted as integer, floats or time/date). Strings are not supported.

To display strings you can hide the scale and put your own string indicator on top of the graph...

This has been asked a lot of time before, just search the forum!

As Gerd already mentioned you can use the formatting of the X-Axis but if that does not meet your needs...

Take a look at the code I posted in this thread.

It uses a Picture Control that over-laps the X-Axis to render arbitrary text under a bar graph.
