Labelling: Re-position & wrap data labels?

nitiwan · March 18, 2013 11:24AM

Hi,

Are there any ways that we can move the data labels to the position we want e.g. left/right/below/above the graph? and can we make the labels showing in two lines in case the word is very long.

Thank you.

Tai - You cannot currently drag labels with the mouse to re-position them. Wrapping of long labels to two-line labels is also not currently supported, although you can now freeze the view size to halt dynamic re-sizing of the entire view, which makes it easier to predict how the label will be positioned when the file is in use.

Which Views are you referring to? Bar/Line, Graph View, or both/more?

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your answer. Currently we do line graph and the label is quite long and not in a position that we want (above/below line graph). Will label dragging be possible to do in future?

Another question please, for the label which is the name (description, not data) of each line graph, can we re-position or remove?

Hi Steve,

I can now find out the function to remove, thank you.

Welcome!
