Hallo everyone,
I have an issue with the design of a bar chart. I want to force Power BI to show the data labels / values over the bars, even if I make the whole visual smaller. As you can see in my screenshot, if I have a height of over 400 the red values are shown very nice. If I make the visual smaller (height about 300) those values disappear. From my point of view there is still enough space to show them. Can I force PBI to do that? I tried a lot with the settings - without success.
Thank you very much for your help
Best regards
Mark
big / height over 400
small / height about 300
Hi.
Im not sure if it is possible to force label placement for small visuals.
I suggest you take a look at related solved problems :
