Dear all,

I have a report with a line chart with the following issue: the data labels disappear in the margin - how can this be solved?

Kind regards,

Lieselot

Hi Lieselot - maybe you could share a screen shot of your additional properties of the Line Chart so others can better assist? Thank you

Tammy,

I have no special properties for the line chart.

I believe it is common behaviour of the chart - but I would like to change this

Kind regards,

Hi Lieselot,

You would be having chart tooltip property as "Show with in chart area". The tooltip is getting cut along the top margin of graph when the value is huge.

You can try un checking the above mentioned property or adjusting the chart top margin

I am having issues with the data labels - changing a property of the tooltip will not help me (and I have tested it, it does not change anything).

Changing the top margin of the chart does not help either.

Kind regards,

Lieselot

Hi Lieselot,

Can you try to set background color to transparent? Maybe the legend area above with a solid fill blocks the datalabel to overlap. I am not sure though, just a thought.

Hi,

I see that even I've this issue with tooltip after 1,4 upgrade. Will check if data label also having this issue and get back to you.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The square you've drawn over data label gave an impression of tooltip .

Hi,

There are 2 options that you have:

1. Change the Axis scaling for Y-axis to auto (unselect the option for Axis Scaling) or alternatively increase highest value to a larger value. This will automatically adjust your chart's highest value and present labels properly.

2. Under Data Label, change the position to 'inside'. You have currently set it as 'outside'.

This should fix your problem.

I currently have no axis scaling for the Y-axis so this cannot be the issue.

Adding an axis scaling for the Y-axis with a max. value is also not possible (because this is not want end-user wants and we have no idea about the max. value).

We use a line chart and in the properties of data label we have no option to change the position (otherwise I would have done this already).

Kind regards,

Lieselot

Hi Lieselot,

I tried a line Chart, but Labels are by Default on data Point and not above it:

Could you check, if you have any custom css applied?

Hello Lieselot,

The issue appears to be that the data points are too close the the upper value of the Y-Axis

If you turn on axis scaling on the Y-Axis, but do not specify a Min of Max value, the scale will be calculated using a different automatic algorithm than the one that is normally used. In most cases this algorithm will calculate a higher upper level of the Y-Axis then the default.

Dear David,

That is unfortunately not a solution because my Min. Value should be 0.

If you turn on the Axis Scaling the Min. Value is not 0 anymore.

Kind regards,

Lieselot

Hi Lieselot,

Setting the min value to zero and leaving the max value blank would still cause the Max value to be calculated with the different algorithm and this might fix the issue

David,

It is not possible to set the min value to zero.

Hi,

I don't think it's related to the post, but still: You need to change the formatting of the axis measure on the chart itself. Look in the properties.
