Some charts only let you customize the x- or y-axis. For example, horizontal bar charts only let you customize the range of the x-axis. You can only set custom ranges on axes that display a numeric field.

  1. Edit or create a dashboard.
  2. Edit a dashboard widget, or add one by clicking + Widget.
  3. To set the axis range, from X-Axis Range or Y-Axis Range, select Custom. Then set a minimum range in Min and a maximum range in Max. To let Salesforce set the axis range for you, choose Automatic.
    Note
    Note Optionally, set only a Min or a Max range and Salesforce chooses the corresponding range.
  4. Click Update. (If you're adding a widget, click Add.)
  5. Click Save.

The dashboard widget displays the data within the range you set.
