Data Labels not always appearing on a Line and Stacked Column Chart

Hi All,

 

I have a Line and Stacked Column chart that should display the toal of the stacks in each column. I have it set up so that the data labels should show, however for some reason they appear on some bars but not on others - and as far as I can see there is no clear reason why. Has anyone seen this before?

 

Any help that could be given on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Darragh

Hello Anonimo.

I found a solution, in the Format part, in the Data Label settings, an option called Tag density appears, upload it to 100% and all the details should appear.

I hope this helps you.

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

Based on my test, It works properly. I created data to reproduce your scenario.

Then I created a measure to calculate the toal of the Score in each column.

 

Total = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[Score]),
    ALL('Table')
)

 

 

The data label is set as on. It appears correct.

You may try to go to 'Format', click 'Data label'=>'Customize series', modify the 'position' as 'Inside center'. Or you can try to increase the width and height of the visual to see if it helps.

HI @Anonymous ,

 

Try to increase space between your bars and check for different data label sizes. You need try multiple combinations there under FORMAT section for this visual. Check-out for Minimum category, etc. options there.

 

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Go to formating, x-axis and try to playaround with Minimum category width and maximum size, it might help.
If not try to change the size of your chart, that will help too.

 

If it helps, please mark it as solution.

Thank you.
