Hi, In an XY chart, I want to display bar values behind the bars. When the number of bars is 30, the labels appear correctly, but when the number of bars changes, the labels shift inside the bars. How can I maintain the correct positioning? I have attached the series and snapshots for reference. Additionally, I noticed that the Y-axis max value shifts between 40 and 50. - When the max is 40, three values are 0, and the rest are 39.6. - When the max is 50, all values are 39.6.
