Default Move Y axis values from right to left

A bar chart is showing the Y axis values on the RHS of the chart. How do I
make them appear on the left?

Thumbs up Answer: Move Y axis values from right to left

To move the Y axis values from the right to the left in a bar chart in Microsoft Excel, you can follow these steps:
  1. Select the chart by clicking on it.
  2. Right-click on the Y axis values on the right side of the chart.
  3. Select "Format Axis" from the drop-down menu.
  4. In the "Format Axis" pane that appears on the right side of the screen, under "Axis Options", find the "Labels" section.
  5. In the "Labels" section, find the "Label Position" drop-down menu and select "Low" from the options.
  6. The Y axis values should now appear on the left side of the chart.

If you want to further customize the appearance of the Y axis values, you can also adjust the font size, color, and other formatting options in the "Format Axis" pane.

Double click on the X axis, and click on the Scale tab. If the box for Value
(Y) Axis Crosses at Maximum is checked, uncheck it, or if it is unchecked,
check it. If that doesn't do what you want, uncheck the box, and enter an
appropriate value in the Crosses At entry box.

I didn't think to look at the x axis settings. Thanks for this. Problem solved!
