Yes, it is possible to display labels for minor gridlines in Excel. Here are the steps to do so:
- Select the chart that you want to add minor gridline labels to.
- Right-click on one of the minor gridlines and select "Format Minor Gridlines" from the drop-down menu.
- In the "Format Minor Gridlines" pane that appears on the right-hand side of the screen, click on the "Line" icon.
- Under "Line," check the box next to "Minor Gridline" to display the minor gridlines.
- Under "Tick Marks," check the box next to "Inside" to display the tick marks on the inside of the chart.
- Under "Labels," check the box next to "Category" to display the category labels for the minor gridlines.
- Click "Close" to apply the changes.

3. Paste the following code into the module:
Formula:
Sub ToggleMinorGridlineLabels()
Dim cht As ChartObject
Set cht = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1)
If cht.Chart.Axes(xlCategory).HasMinorGridlines Then
cht.Chart.Axes(xlCategory).HasMinorGridlines = False
cht.Chart.Axes(xlCategory).TickLabels.NumberFormat = ";;;"
Else
cht.Chart.Axes(xlCategory).HasMinorGridlines = True
cht.Chart.Axes(xlCategory).TickLabels.NumberFormat = "General"
End If
End Sub
4. Close the editor and return to the worksheet.
5. Click on the "Developer" tab in the ribbon and select "Insert" from the "Controls" group.
6. Choose a button control and draw it on the worksheet.
7. Right-click on the button and select "Assign Macro" from the drop-down menu.
