Is the measure - Variance EFM % Tracker?
If this is then yes it can’t become an axis on a chart.

What I think you really want to be doing here is using supporting (or secondary tables) to group this results.
This is how you can get a physical column that can be used as an axis. It does require create these extra tables but I believe it’s the most efficient way to solve this.
See below for examples on this
