Disappearing Y-axis Values

Hello,
I’m having issues with a report not displaying correctly.

If I save a bar chart as a normal report, the Y-axis is populated with values. Once I add it to a dashboard, the Y-axis values disappear.

Saving the report as a pivot first, the Y-axis values display in the pivot editor. Once I save it, the Y-axis values disappear.

In pivot editor, if I change from bar to column, the Y-axis is populated with values.

Has anyone experienced values of the Y-axis disappearing?

I will supply screenshots and SPL in an update. I am rushing off to a meeting right now. But I was hoping someone might have an answer before I post the screenshots and SPL.

I checked this answer,

and that is not the issue. I viewed it on a wide screen monitor as a single panel on a row. Still no Y-axis values.

Thanks and God bless,
Genesius

I answered my own question.

When converting from a column to a bar, the X and Y axis change places. Therefore, it is the X-axis that is missing labels. Changing the height on the bar chart revealed the labels.
