So, there is a small thing on the X Axis that you can fix. Go to the Design Page of the Chart, and in the X Axis, there will be a "number format" thing. Set this:

This will make the commas of the decades disappear, and really looks years. Regarding population at Y Axis, you don't need to insert the code above :)
