Let’s imagine your slide background is filled with some picture or texture. This may cause your chart columns to appear merged with the background. In such a situation, you can make your chart columns prominent by formatting the walls and floor of your 3D chart.

It’s good to avoid using 3D charts unless your chart data requires a Z-axis. Having said that, we have chosen the topic of making your 3D columns in a chart transparent. Yes, there’s a reason to do so especially when you find that some of the columns in your 3D chart may be hiding behind one or more of the other columns, just because they are not tall enough.

Tick marks in charts are indications placed on the axis that help you get a better idea about chart values. Major tick marks are indications on an axis that show up between categories on the categories axis, and besides major unit values on the value axis. Minor tick marks are those tick marks that appear between major tick marks on an axis.

Comments Off on Chart Axes: Tick Marks in PowerPoint
Do you like the default locations where PowerPoint places your axes’ labels? Yes, we do believe that the defaults do work best most of the time because audiences expect these labels to exist at these familiar locations. However, there may be times when you probably don’t even need labels for your axes, or you may want them placed in another location so that your charts look cleaner. Whatever your motive may be, it is indeed possible to change the position of axis labels vis-à-vis the axis.
