[Solved] X-axis labels in middle of chart

[pedalmegone]

Hi, I have x-axis labels appearing in the middle of the chart and I want to move them to the bottom. Y-axis are percentages from -.05 to + .05, etc. The label displays at the '0' level. X-axis are dates, y-axis are percent change. Can anyone tell me how to move these labels?
Open Office 4.1.2; Max OS X El Capitan, 10.11.6.

Thanks in advance!

Double click on the X axis; Positioning, Value: -0.5

And then you must set the scale of the Y axis to manual end-values: -0.5 ... +0.5

Tried in AOO 4.1.6 portable.

Double click the chart so you change to "chart edit mode" (shown by tiny black handles around the edge instead of the larger colored ones).

• Right click the X axis and select Format axis...
• Select the Positioning tab
• Select one of the "outside" options for label placement.

Almost the same as Zizi64. His approach allows for more precise placement. Mine is better with automatic rescaling when Y values change.

Thank you both for the help! I was able to bring the x-axis labels well below the 0.0 value although it is still a bit above the bottom grid line. However, this is enough! I did use a value well below the scale in following Zizi64.
