Graph Builder Marker and Point Labels on top of each other -> Can the label position be adjusted?

BSwid — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 21:14:59 GMT

In my data table I have one column (a %) set as a label. In graph builder I've set all labels to show. In the data tabel I have the marker set as a location name. The location name and the % are stacked right on top of each other and unreadable. Is there a way to adjust the location of the point label so it is below (or if at the bottom of the graph above) the marker (like a logical jitter)? I know that I can move them individually. A solution that is more code or option based would be preferred. Thank you.

Example below with two labels manually moved to a desireable position.

Not quite the solution you have in mund but... you could concatenate the location and % into a single column and use that as the marker.

One more readable way is that u can set both location and % as label
