You can display a horizontal axis or vertical orientation with line, column, and winloss sparklines.
You can display the horizontal axis with the options.displayXAxis property when adding the sparkline with a method. You can specify horizontal or vertical orientation with the dataOrientation method when adding the sparkline with a method. You can specify a data range or a date axis range. The line, column, and winloss formulas have options for setting the axis or orientation.
The following image displays a data range with horizontal and vertical data and a date axis range. The horizontal date range is similar to the horizontal data range.

This example displays a date axis.
