Hello,

I often have in Graph Builder Bar Charts with the Sum on the Top. But if the Number ist to higher, than it is no more readable. (Like in the Attachment)

So how can I change Labels in Graph Builder for Bar Charts from Horizontal to Vertical or 45°?

You have to use scripting to do that (to my knowledge). Here is related wish list item Graph builder bar chart data label control which will also link here Graph Builder Bar Graph Label Offset

Thank You, this was helpfull. So in the moment ther ist just a scripting solution.

SendToReport(
    Dispatch(
        {},
        "Graph Builder",
        FrameBox(1),
        DispatchSeg(BarSeg(1), Set Font("", 12, "", 90))
    ),
    Dispatch(
        {},
        "Graph Builder",
        FrameBox(2),
        DispatchSeg(BarSeg(1), Set Font("", 12, "", 90))
    )
),

You can add this to the Sript and it works

12 - Size

90 - Angel

If I save the Script it looks like this (for an Other diagramm with more lins)

	SendToReport(
		Dispatch( {}, "Graph Builder", FrameBox( 3 ),
			{DispatchSeg( BarSeg( 1 ), {Font( Size( 12 ), Angle( 90 ) )} )}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "Graph Builder", FrameBox( 4 ),
			{DispatchSeg( BarSeg( 1 ), {Font( Size( 12 ), Angle( 90 ) )} )}
		),
		Dispatch( {}, "Graph Builder", FrameBox( 5 ),
			{DispatchSeg( BarSeg( 1 ), {Font( Size( 10 ), Angle( 90 ) )} )}
		)
	)
