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.
