    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.

    Hi jayanthan,

     

    Try to switch the data label position setting from Auto to whatever.
