    Currently there is no ability to control where data labels are placed on a graph. Could you please add this functionality similar to Excel where the report designer can control the placement of data labels (Ex. In a Bar Graph) at the bottom, in the middle or at the end). This is extremely essential to design great reports and dashboards

    The ability to adjust and show labels directly on the chart instead of a legend also follows the best pratices of accessibilty and visualization comprehension. A good example of this is in Esri's ArcGIS products which have the ability to set what is most important in labeling while still having the labels be dynamically placed.

    Gosh, yes please. I don't know why this doesn't have more activity. PowerBi is far too reliant on tooltips to get information to users
