Adding Axis Line Breaks to Bubble or Scatterplot Charts

In Bubble or Scatterplot charts, axis line breaks let you remove or reduce visual gaps in the data.

Context

When a chart has widely spread bubbles or clusters of datapoints, it can be difficult to read. Axis line breaks help reduce the visual gap in the data, improving the readability. You can apply and edit multiple axis line breaks on both axes.

Procedure

  1. In your Bubble or Scatterplot chart, select the X or Y axis.
  2. Select (Add axis line break).
  3. Select another axis or another location on the same axis and add another axis line break.
  4. (Optional) To change the range covered by the axis break, select an axis line break and select (Edit axis line break).
