Overlapping Series Name

Hi Guys!

I have 2 Lines and whenever I enable series name, some charts does not show name cuz the value ranges are same. I have attached picture for clarification. 

Note: Small multiples Chart (Stacked Line chart)

Thanks!

Hi @meIdo ,

 

Your issue should be caused by a too small spacing between [Value] and [Prior Month Comparision] in second small multiple. This should be a issue by Power BI design.

Did you use Line chart in Power BI Desktop? According to your statement, I think [Value] and [Prior Month Comparision] should be two columns or measures. As far as I know, if you add them in Y axis at the same time the name of column or measure will display in the same place.

If you add [Value] in Y axis field and [Prior Month Comparision] in second Y axis field, one should show in left and another should show in right.
