如何使用openpyxl设置图表标签的间隔单位

Question

I am trying to set Interval Unit (for interval between labels) of chart using openpyxl. This option is set to 'Automatic' by default. Image shows how we can set the option manually in Excel. Image Link

I found this option in XlsxWriter:

chart.set_x_axis({'interval_unit': 5})

but could not find the option in openpyxl. Please help.

Answer 1

For bar and column charts in openpyxl the axis labeling individual data is of type openpyxl.chart.axis.TextAxis . TextAxis features a property named tickLblSkip which defines what you are looking for. You can set a labeling interval of 5 as follows:

from openpyxl.chart import BarChart

chart = BarChart
chart.x_axis.tickLblSkip = 5
