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 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.
