    This is totally unsettling with PowerBI "Auto" positioning of labels.

     

    It should be OBVIOUS that with only 2 series, being a higher and a lower value, the labels should be above and below based on such values. Also BI doesn't let you manually fit each label as higher or lower, which is just awful when making line charts showing 2 series of data, like comparing between years. 

    Just makes it hard to understand which is the higher value, also sets labels over data points where it should not be needed.

     

    Wish they could make this little improvement. Sure it's something based on especific cases of data, but i wonder how much people have this same problem and just deal with it as "oh, this is something PBI can't solve i guess".
