Your setting is exactly my setting and I think if press F5 several times (trigger between preview mode) you will see this bug. As I told you, the bug only happens randomly when the chart is updated or the page is refreshed or in designer, you trigger preview mode. ---

Yes i did try preview mode as you are correct that sometimes going into preview things change. i have also pushed a version of this to our live project and i do not have any issues. This maybe something that Inductive technical support can help with. they know all the properties and how they affect components much better than i do. ---

I finally find the bug. When I put the XY chart in a flex container it shrinks without looking shrink, grow settings, so I have to put the XY chart in XY coordinate container first and then put it in flex. The problem appears when I change the XY coordinate container mode to percent. For solving this bug, I simply change it to fixed mode and use width: 100%, height: 100% instead. My only problem is how to change its style? ---

For color, font size and so on, you can use the series tooltip.text formatting. For example, setting the bullet's label.text to "[bold;#CC3333;font-size:20px]{field}" makes the label on top of the bar display "field" as a red, bold text with size 20px. I'm still looking for the documentation on how I can pass multiple styles. It would also be cool to make the label appear depending on some condition. For example, if a bar has the value 0, I don't see the point in displaying "0" and no bar... ---

to get the bar chart you need to make a series with the render property set to bar. My example on this was to create a line with labels to go in addition to the bars. ---

> [@jiyoung\_hwang1](#): > > It doesn't show up ... The answer is in post #2. You can't apply labels to columns. You need to copy **series 0** to **series 1** and render that as a **line**. Then copy the settings shown in post #2. You can make the line and bullets invisible so that only the labels show. ---

If you push the label below the top of the bar, essentially you don't display the "0". Or better yet, use the deriveFieldsFromData to make the label or bullet disappear, like the thumb-up icon only appears for the max bar. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/2/32b68e1166ea3f05c5a8532677d425d410d76194.png) ---

Hi Phil I was facing issue in visibility of the label on top of xy charts. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/1/0145cec53d110611119558e67a8557967aacf7b9.png) You can see my label data was cutting in top. I did tired to adjust the position.dx, dy property, It works for some data but not for some. If value if 197 secs it works when I set dy to 0, same not working if secs is 0.6 value in chart. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/e/ee9a144795b4b92d5f270c4782fd431036fcf179.png) Can you please help me with this? ---

Why don't you push the label to the top of the bar, with a positive `dy`, instead of below? ---

Try with `dy` equal to -10 or more. To get it above the bar, it needs to be negative not positive, my bad on that. ---

there is no good way to make it dynamic based on the value of the bar. i would adjust the text to be just above the bar and then on the y axis max value put a binding that takes the highest value of any bar and adds 10%. that way there is space in the chart above the bars to show the value.
