How to remove all grid lines except for X & Y zero lines

There was an error rendering this rich post.

The subject pretty much lays it out. I want to remove all gridlines on the visual except for X & Y zero lines. I use grid lines sparingly, especially on scatter plots, but sometimes I want to include the specified lines for esthetics or whatever but can't seem to figure out how to accomplish that.

The closest I can get is setting the max grid line to 0 for both Value scale (y) and (x) but that leaves the actual border of the plotting grid

In the example I'm using the scatter plot, but this question applies to other relative plot visuals too

@Data_Devon I'm here to chime in! Hide grid lines and then add quadrant lines = 0

Hi Connor!

Using the Scatter Plot, there's a "Grid lines" chart properties that you can edit:

In other chart types (pictured below is the Bar chart), there is the same "Grid lines" in Chart properties that will offer the same adjustments - such as removing the Min and Max line, or removing the calculated line:

Does that get you to your end goal with your specific use case?

Hello Devin! I appreciate the response, but no, that actually removed all the grid lines. I still want the Y & X zero lines to be drawn across their respective axes, but all other lines removed. The final plot would have two grid lines total, one line horizontally and the other vertically across their axes.
