Hi

using Kibana 8.8 and lens

my data is series of sample points (CSV file), trying to show a line graph: X-axis as counter and Y-axis as the data points.

the best result is a graph with the axis in the wrong positions.

 ![kibana graph](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/f/1fb0962dd38f7c38680704ba5d3f19bcd9dc5d03.jpeg)

how can I fix it?

Thank you

Hi @hananz,

Welcome to the community! Can you share what the graph looks like with the axis configuration reversed and what you are expecting to see?
