Label Density Gone?

Hi all,

 

I have a problem with missing labels on a bar chart (see below) and I need to force those data labels onto the chart. I've been watching videos about adjusting the label density, but for whatever reason I don't have that option on the pane. I just checked my version and it's 2.116.622.0 so updated as of April 2023. Did they remove this feature?

Hi @NCPowerBI ,

 

This feature has not been removed, it's in the Data Labels.

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.

I still don't see this label density option and is there any other option to show lables on stacked Bar chart and line stacked bar chart?

hi @Anonymous I can't find the label density for cluster bar chart, was it removed? Is there any other way to forcefully show all data labels? I had enabled the text overflow, tried using auto position and optimized the label width, but at times some data labels go missing from my cluster bar chart visual.
