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.

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.

Axis labels, as the name suggests are labels for categories and values on your chart axes. Category names show as labels on the category axis. Similarly, values show as labels on the value axis. If you have a depth (series) axis in your chart, then series names show up as the labels on this axis.

The text used to label chart axes in a chart is called an axis title. Most chart types with a few exceptions such as the pie and doughnut charts have axes. Although radar charts have an axis, there is no provision to add axis titles for them. In all other chart types such as column, line, etc., axis titles are not visible by default.
