Hi @Anonymous ,

Here is custom visual which will help you to see values of categories which are minimal.Pie chart with clear data label PBIVizEdit.comPie chart with clear data label PBIVizEdit.com

Download link in this page

https://pbivizedit.com/gallery/pie-chart-with-clear-data-labels-for-small-data 

This was made with our Custom Visual creator tool PBIVizEdit.com. With this tool,

  • anyone, irrespective of technical skills, can create their own visuals
  • 15 minutes to create a visual from scratch
  • opens up many additional attributes to edit (for e.g. labels, tooltips, legends position, etc)
    Give this a shot and let us know if you face any problem/errors.

You can use the editor to modify your visual further (some modifications cannot be done in Power BI window and have to be in editor).

Thanks,

Team PBIVizEdit

Details label->Label position: perfer outside,

turn on "overflow text"

For donut charts, you could refer to the following thread:

How to show all detailed data labels of donut chart
