I am using a stacked area chart to display data and and I've problem with the data lables
Does anyone have an idea what the problem and solution is?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @akraus,
In your scenario, please check which type of X-axis you have set. If it's Continuous, please go to Data Labels -> Label density, change value to 100%. By default, it's 50%.

Thank you, that's the solution. But now, It's really confusing. To much data labels in the chart
But, for my understanding: Label density 50% should normally be each second label and not the first 50%. Or did I misunderstand something?
Hi @akraus,
Based on my test, Label density 50% will display first 50% data labels.
In your scenario, if you care too many labels in the chart, you can try to change the X-Axis Type from Continuous to Categorical.
