Data labels overlap with Bar chart area

Hello PBI Experts,

I've come across another issue in Power BI. I created a Line and Clustered Column visual.

I set the Data Label to On. However, in some of the column area, the labels tend to overlap with the column.

I've already set the position of the label to Outside end  and yet there is still this overlapping issue? Any explanation why it happens? Please refer to below figure. The labels above year 2027, 2028 and 2029 are not placed above the columns.Bar_Labels.JPG

Please help me.

Regards,

JorgeAbiad

Hi,

 

According to your description, it is because that you have stretched the visual's height too lower, like this:

Please stretch the visual's height more higher, and it shows:

Hope this helps.
