Bar Chart Scale

I have a search that is showing 18 results over 30 days. on the days that I find results I get either one or 2 count. Yet when I show this on a bar chart I get a scale across the bottom in _time and a scale along the side in tenths (.1,.2,.3) all the way to (1.9,2.0). I want the side scale to be only whole numbers and not tenths.

In the chart view, open "Formatting options" then "Y-axis" and enter 0 in "Min value" and enter 3 (or higher) in "Max value".

However, if you put this into a dashboard, do "Edit Visualization" and in the "Y-axis" section you can enter a value for "Major unit" which you can use to enter "1" for whole numbers.
