How to customize scatter chart data label

Hi,

 

I have a scatter chart like this:

Is it possible to customize the data label to make them more readable?

 

For example using lines in this way:

Thanks,

Andrea

Hi @arimoldi 
It seems a proportions issue, there is just no enough place for the labels.
I don't think that we have a solution for this, 
The alternatives :

1. Modify names to shorter.

2. Use tooltips

Hi,

 

thanks for reply.

 

Do you know if there are custom visual that could solve this problem?

 

Thanks,

Andrea

Hi again 🙂
You can try other scatters just write "scatter" in the search window of the marketplace:

Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic. As I mentioned, this is less of a visualization configuration issue and more of a data point and label overload issue.

Good luck.

Hi,

 

I already tried to search for custom visuals, but I didn't found any visual to solve this problem.

 

Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Andrea
