How to fix the data lables so user can see the data without hover over the bar?

At widths of 70 or less, the data labels are overlapping and not clearly readable

At widths of 70 or less, the data labels are overlapping and not clearly readable. This is too close, and the data labels are very tight and not visually easy to understand. Hence, I want to keep the bar width less than 70.

If I uncheck the overlap option, the bar values disappeared.

    Something like your screenshot isn't natively supported. You can always use a brick or pro-code app to use a different charting library like D3.js.

    Whenever I have long data labels or y-axis values, and I don't have a date/time x-axis, I change to use a horizontal bar chart.

    You can use the option data label settings > rotate.

    Hii brycec

    Is there any other way to keep it horizontally and data labels adjusted itself when bars/labels are tight? Something like this!
