Staggering x‑axis labels
In Chart Builder—Format, you can select the Stagger Labels option to place the labels in a staggered arrangement, as shown in Figure 6‑32. The chart on the left shows the results of staggering, but not rotating, the x‑axis labels. The chart on the right shows the results of staggering and rotating the labels 30 degrees.
