That means the text you're trying to show are too big/long for the visual. Here are my suggestions:

  • Enlarge your visual
  • Lower the font size of your data label
  • Reposition the data label (like what @v-frfei-msft suggested)
  • If your label is a number, consider shortening its format (e.g. $1234567 to $1.2M)

The last three suggestions can all be done in the formatting section of the visual.
