How to get rid of X axis values overlapping?

Hi Excel Forum,

In my attached Graph 1, the values in X axis are overlapping. Could any expert help me to get rid of this overlapping.

Elongating the X axis is however not a solution because this kind of 4 graphs are going to be linked into a one single slide in powerpoint. So, we do not have any room for making the X axis elongated.

What I am looking is X axis to be look like below.

Hello Mirisa

Maybe as in the attached reply using two columns for your x axis categories.
