How to change the measure axis interval in WPF Olap Chart?

This article explains how to change the interval of the measure axis in a Syncfusion WPF OLAP Chart. By setting the Interval property of the measure axis programmatically, you can control the spacing between axis labels and improve readability for large numeric values.

This customization is helpful when working with measures such as sales, revenue, or quantities that span a wide numeric range.

Follow these steps to change the measure axis interval in the WPF OLAP Chart:

Step 1: Configure the OLAP Data Manager

Initialize the OlapDataManager, set the OLAP report, and attach the Loaded event to apply axis interval customization after the chart loads. For more information, refer this getting started documentation.

public MainWindow()
{
   InitializeComponent();

   this.olapChart.OlapDataManager =
       new OlapDataManager(
       "Data Source=https://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll;" +
       "Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW 2008 SE;");

   this.olapChart.OlapDataManager.SetCurrentReport(SampleReport());

   this.olapChart.Loaded += OlapChart_Loaded;
}

Public Sub New()
   InitializeComponent()

   Me.olapChart.OlapDataManager =
       New OlapDataManager(
       "Data Source=https://bi.syncfusion.com/olap/msmdpump.dll;" &
       "Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW 2008 SE;")

   Me.olapChart.OlapDataManager.SetCurrentReport(SampleReport())

   AddHandler Me.olapChart.Loaded, AddressOf OlapChart_Loaded
End Sub

Step 2: Set the Measure Axis Interval

In the Loaded event, set the Interval property of the measure axis. In an OLAP Chart, the measure axis is typically available through the Axes collection.

void OlapChart_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   this.olapChart.OlapChartArea.Axes[0].Interval = 500000.00;
}

Private Sub OlapChart_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
   Me.olapChart.OlapChartArea.Axes(0).Interval = 500000.0
End Sub

Output
