How to increase the size of Data Label for a bar chart ( Size of data label > width of bar)

Have a requirement to fit multiple charts in page, for this the size of chart and bar is kept to minimum. How do I get the data label to not disappear and make it visible at all all times. I have tried searching online but all the material corresponds to previous versions of PBI. Below is sample image of the bar chart and label. Need the label to be overlapping bar and inside the white area. Any help would be appreciated.

A bit late to the party, but I came across this, looking desperately for 'how to make the labels on a chart bigger without making the chart bigger'. I found the answer. Basically PBI decided to give us another one of their 'helpful' features that make life a misery. Just select the visual, go to the Format visual pane>General > Properties > Advanced options. TURN OFF Responsive. Your labels will go as big as you please. Yay! 🙂

Hi @Idrissshatila As I mentioned we need the chart size to be minimum but the data labels to be bigger. So increasing the chart size is not an option for me.

Hello @prear ,

 

try increasing the size of the bar chart itself, it may be because of that.
