Google is adding new features to help you customize chart axes in Google Sheets and better visualize your data in charts. The new options are:

Add major and minor tick marks to charts.
Customize tick mark location (inner, outer, and cross) and style (color, length, and thickness).
Set the precise numeric spacing between major and minor axis ticks or grid lines.
Choose to show or remove the line that marks the axis.
