How to hide axis bars in area chart and line chart in Google Data Studio

Question

I currently have this issue where I am trying to hide the Y-axis of this line chart. Currently there is only the option to hide both axes in GDS.

Issue being is that the floating number at the y axis looks awkward.

Could anyone think of a work around? maybe hiding both axes and then creating a blank chart with the date values and using that as the x axis ticks.

Answer 1

One workaround is to draw a Shape or line over the axis and set it to a colour that blends in with the background, (although in the case above, it would cut into the first data point and data label) using Shift + movement keys for precision placement.
