    Hi

     

    In latest version of Power BI Version: 2.36.4434.381 64-bit (June 2016), a new option for line data labels has been introduced with name Label Density. This way you can reduce the number of occurances of data label printing and will be help out in your case.

One of the things I have to keep reminding myself is that Power BI is still very new, when compared to other tools.  With that, it doesn't always have what we want.  Have you looked at all at the Custom Visualization (Link).  There are quite a few new and different visuals that might better meet your needs.

        The "data Lables" show just one color option for the entire chart (say if the chart is a combo chart with line and bar graphs), is there a way to change the lables into different colors according to the different line and bar graph on a perticular chart ?

    Hey Habib, I don't have this propiety (Label Density), in my Power BI Desktop (current using 2.108.997.0 64-bit (August 2022)). 

    Any other ideas on how to fix it? I'm having the same issue with a "Line and Stacked column" chart.
