Default how to move horizontal axis labels on bar graph

Hello,



Please have a look at the graph below:



How can I change the position of the horizontal axis labels (i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar,...). They are overlapping with the bars and I think it would look cleaner if they were in a clear area, like above the bars. When I hover over it, a box highlights around it and the mouse cursor transforms into a four-way set of arrows, but when I click and drag, nothing happens.

Click on horizontal axis - label area will be activated;
Richt-click on border of label area and select Format Axis from drop-down menu;
Expand LABELS group, and set Label Position to low.

Thanks Arvi, that works. Except you can't move the labels above the horizontal axis.
