overlapping data labels

I have a line chart where at certain points on the x-axis the different expressions take very similar values causing the labels to overlap and become unreadable. I've seen suggestions to reduce the font size and/or increase the size of the chart, but in some cases this still won't fix the problem. Are there any more elegant solutions to this problem?

Hey Kevin,

My 2c.

You can just not show the Values at all unless the user hovers over it. If there is too many data points, I think this would be an ideal approach.

Thanks

On the Expressions tab, you can choose to put the values on the axis instead of on the points themselves.

If I understand your question you can

- stagger lables ("Axes" tab)

- enable x-axis crollbar ("Presentation" tab)

From a presentation standpoint this doesn't quite work. Ajay's response seems like the best possible option.
