I would like to label the units of the vertical axis on a BoxWhiskerChart, but haven't figured out how to do so. I tried AxesLabel and I tried giving the data units, but neither worked for me in version 11.1.1

BoxWhiskerChart[Quantity[RandomReal[{0, 10}, {100}], "USDollars"], AxesLabel -> {"Test"}]

BoxWhiskerChart

How can I label the vertical axis?

    $\begingroup$ You must use FrameLabel -> {"", "Test"}, RotateLabel -> False, as you have a Frame not axes. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 1, 2017 at 12:09

    $\begingroup$ I you want to see the units as a label, you could use FrameLabel->Automatic. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 1, 2017 at 20:48

Try with FrameLabel->{"", "Test"}, RotateLabel -> False, therefore:

BoxWhiskerChart[Quantity[RandomReal[{0, 10}, {100}], "USDollars"], FrameLabel -> {"", "Test"}, RotateLabel -> False]

Also:

Labeled[BoxWhiskerChart[Quantity[RandomReal[{0, 10}, {100}], "USDollars"]], Style["Test", 12, "Panel"], Left, RotateLabel -> True]

enter image description here

Panel[BoxWhiskerChart[Quantity[RandomReal[{0, 10}, {100}], "USDollars"]], "Test", Left, RotateLabel -> True, Appearance -> "Frameless"]
