    Data Labels positions automatically update on chart to avoid overlap?

    Hi guys,

    Is there a way to make Data Labels change their positions such that to avoid overlap, without manually changing each Data Label's position on chart?

    For example, first graph contains Data Labels that are overlapping and second graph has Data Labels that aren't overlapping - I've had to manually re-arrange the positions of the Data Labels.

    I've attached an excel file with both graphs and data table.

    Many thanks,

    Stas

    There is no built-in method where data labels check for overlapping.

    Use 3 additional data series that only display the data labels for above/right or below

    Great work Andy - you're the man! I thought the only way outta this one was going to be VBA.
