Hi Tonycompu, It seems that the values are not fitting in the space provided, can you try reducing the font size one or two points. This should allow the values to fit in the empty space.HTH, Cheers!! Ashish Please mark it as Answered if it answered your question or mark it as Helpful if it helped you solve your problem.

Hi ashish, What I need is that value en middle of the cell, I don't need it in the empty space. It doesn't matter if the value is 0%, 34%, 70% or 100%, I need this value in the middle of the cell in front of bar all the time . is this possible? thanks for your answer

Hi , These are called Data-points in the graphs.What you need is select the Data-point in the design mode ,Press F4 for properties ,Then you can select the properties "Position" or "Rotation" to show the Data Points in the graphs.There are other common properties as well for Data-points.

Hi Tonycompu, From your description, you want the data labels to be displayed in the middle of the textbox that contains the Data Bar (or Bar chart). In a bar chart, we can change the position of the data label by changing the "BarLabelStyle" of the "CustomAttributes" property. When we set the "BarLabelStyle" to "Left", it always attempts to replace the labels from the left edge of the bar, however, if a bar is not lengthy enough to contains the label totally, the label will be placed on the right side of the bar. The similar behavior acts when we set the "BarLabelStyle" to "Center". So, we can only set the position of the labels on the Bar chart level and cannot set it on the textbox level. To work around the issue, we can insert a rectangle into the textbox, drag a Data Bar and a textbox into the rectangle. Then we can set the textbox to display the label data and place it in the center of the rectangle above the Data Bar. The screenshot below is for your reference: Hope this helps.
