Hi all,
I have a column chart.I have months on my x axis.Since there are 12 months i need to display ,is there a way to format the title to display vertically.

if its horizontal the formatting does'nt look neat.The months show up as :

January March May July

february April June

I want them to show up vertically one after the other.

Select the ordinal axis (X-axis) and set the property General -> Label Control to "Automatic".
If you want vertically only then set "Allow 45^o rotation" to false.
Hope this works.

Thank you paddhu.It worked.

Also,I have three measures in my series.While displaying the measures as a legend is there a way to hide
one of the measures?I want to display only 1,2 measures.

I dont know any direct way. Maybe you could remove the legend and add custom text boxes/images to show the legends you want.
