Changing data label font size

jhurtado · ‎12-27-2019

I want to make the numbers that appear within the bars of the dashboard bar chart bigger.
We have a screen that displays the bar chart but the numbers are too small to be seen unless you get closer, is there a way to make them appear bigger? I'm referring to the y-axis numbers that appear inside of the bars.

I was trying to access the source code and see if I could figure it out but so far all I know is that you can make them appear or not,

 "<option name="charting.chart.showDataLabels">all</option>"
