powerbi layout problem

Gawain_0-1727178337105.pngAs shown in the figure, because the three data are very close to each other, one of them cannot be displayed. However, for the sake of aesthetics, we do not want to adjust the size of the chart. Is there any way to display it?

Hi @Gawain 

The same problem I faced too.

 

For example this is similar to your problem. In this case it'not showing data lable for one category.

There is option in format settings if you see below.

You have to rotate donut for certain degrees..until you see your data lables are clearly. In my case it should be 83 degrees. In your case it should be different.

 

So, After rotating I get clear data lable for every slice in donut chart.

Hope this helps you..

Hi @Gawain 

 

You are correct.

The adjustment of the labels is dynamic/automatic, and for hidden values you can supplement with tooltips.

For your reference:

Customizing tooltips in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

But if you don't mind your visuals becoming unsightly, you can use Prefer outside or Prefer inside in the Detail labels:

Or shorten the length of your label display:

Otherwise, suparnababu8's workaround could be better.

Thank you for your help, it can be solved, but I have a question, if other data becomes smaller, the problem should still appear, we can't solve this problem permanently, right?
