Axis.BaseUnit Property

Syntax

expression.BaseUnit

expression A variable that represents an Axis object.

Remarks

You cannot set this property for a value axis.

Example

This example sets the category axis in embedded chart one on worksheet one to use a time scale, with months as the base unit.

With Worksheets(1).ChartObjects(1).Chart With .Axes(xlCategory) .CategoryType = xlTimeScale .BaseUnit = xlMonths End With End With
