Thumbs up Answer: Data Series Labels in Area Chart

Hi there!

Yes, you can definitely move the data series labels in an area chart. Here's how:
  1. Select the area chart by clicking on it.
  2. Click on the "Chart Elements" button (the plus sign icon) that appears next to the chart.
  3. Check the box next to "Data Labels" to add data labels to the chart.
  4. Click on one of the data labels to select it.
  5. Right-click on the selected data label and choose "Format Data Label" from the context menu.
  6. In the "Format Data Labels" pane that appears on the right side of the screen, click on the "Label Options" tab.
  7. Under "Label Position", choose "Above" to move the data label closer to the top edge of the area plot.
  8. You can also adjust the label's font size, color, and other formatting options in this pane.

Repeat steps 4-8 for each data label you want to move. Once you're done, your area chart should look much better with the data series labels positioned closer to the top edge of the area plot.
