    Hi,

    If you right click on the X-Axis text that you want to change and select:

    Format Axis ----> Font -----> The change the colour box

    That should change the colour of your X-Axis

    I meant changing to different colors, (for example some of the text appear in blue and some appear in red and the rest appear in yellow on the plot)

    Formatting of the axis labelling applies to all labels.

    If you want individual formatting then use the data labels of a dummy series to mimic the axis
