How to adjust label position in a column chart?

Here is my chart alt text - there is any way to set the position of column labels above the column, not in the middle?

Hi @dreadangel,

This is because you are using :

<option name="charting.chart.stackMode">stacked</option>

Change it to :

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

Let me know if that works for you.

Cheers,
David

Here is the result - not so pretty, but anyway a value is not above the column.

BTW maybe to use a D3.js chart?

ouch... yeah, true this does look bad...But that's the only way to get the values on top of the bar chart using standard xml. A D3.js chart should do the trick. And possibly reworking the query could help as well ?

Hi @dreadangel, when setting : <option name="charting.chart.showDataLabels">all</option> it should automatically show on top of the bars.. Which option are you currently using for displaying those values ?
