Hi,

You can change the position of the axis labels but it will affect all of
them.
Double click the axis and choose the Low option for Tick Labels position.

If you really must have some above and some below then you can mimic the
axis labels with additional series and data labels.

Cheers
Andy

I'm making a bar chart showing the returns of quarter, 9 month 1 year 5
year
since Inception.

The returns of current year are negative i have my tick mark labels just
below the axis...is there any way possible making the first 3 label above
the
axis so the bar will not block the label?
