How does data label density work?

‎12-12-2022 12:20 AM

I'm confused what this percentage in data label settings means. It's currently at 50%, but changing it to 25% or 75% doesn't really seem to do much.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I made a sample for your reference:

data label density: 0%

data label density: 50%

vstephenmsft_1-1670910781713.png

data label density: 100%

The density of data labels depends on the number of labels on your x-axis, and the more you have, the more obvious the effect.
