How Does Power BI Format Spacing?

[Userpath77]

Hi All

I have a dilemma and hoping someone knows the answer. I have a Stacked Line Column Chart which shows Totals above the bars on the chart and those totals have backgrounds. I have some dashaboards where a total shows above every bar and I have some dashboard where totals "do not" show above every bar.......there may be one or two missing. When comparing the charts, it's not a space issue because there is small data and plenty of space between each bar. Does anyone know what rules Power BI follows when determining "in it's mind" what totals to show and which not to show (in these cases)?

@Userpath77 ,

I believe it's all depend upon space consume by charts. If you utilize large space so most of the label's bars will be visible. And same if you design using less space so only few data labels or none of them showing.

Refer my below SS where I copied same visual with large and small space so that you'll get the clarification.
