Data labels clumsy on column chart

HI All,

 

In Report Builder  i have created a column chart.

I have requirement to show the data labels on the column chart and many bars in the chart, due to which data labels on top of the bars are clumsy. How to make it clear visible. 

Below is the chart.

@Smartnag Select your chart. In your Visualizations pane expand the Column formatting card. Expand the Spacing card. Increase your Inner padding.

Gred Deckler, 

 

Thanks for your response.

 

The requirement is in Report Builder, not in Power BI Desktop.

 

Thanks
