Editable Font Size and Colour for Data Labels on Charts

Ben Nicholls

It would be helpful to have some control over the size and colour of data labels for charts. e.g. if your dashboard font sizing is consistently a smaller or larger size than the default for data labels, it looks untidy, often data labels appear too large on a chart as a result of the large default font size too.

Hello, Is it possible to enable formatting to the chart data labels

Mary Beveridge

It would be of great value to be able to edit Series Value Labels and to be able to incorporate a data Trend Line.

I am asked to convert some of the data I work with to Smartsheet, but for the time being, I am going to have to revert to Excel, because I am not able to present data at its full potential.

Smartsheet is a good product, but I will have to wait to incorporate it into these specific reports.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This request has been asked numerous times. Does SmartSheet group all the like requests together? Or, do we have to go back and upvote many requests? (some back to 2018, that I saw).

Thank you.

I would love it if I could change the font size and position of pie chart data labels. I'd like the position options to include the current default (which appears to be Center) as well as Inside-End. Combined, these two items would allow us to minimize label values from neighboring slices bleeding together and becoming illegible. See the attached image for how it currently looks in Smartsheet v. when I can adjust labels' font size and location.

Thank you.

I agree, this would be FANTASTIC! It is such a struggle to have to deal with only two options currently (display the pie chart data labels or not to display). Super frustrating and I have honestly never understood why this has not yet been an enhancement. Please consider this, it would be super helpful.

Ability to modify the number of labels on either the x or y axis of a graph. This would be especially helpful for graphs which track dates, as after a certain point the x or y axis becomes unreadable as more data is added.

Also ability to update the data source without the chart reverting back to all the default settings would be great and save an awful lot of time for me.

On Roadmap · Last Updated 04/28/23

We are planning several enhancements to make charts more customizable, including the option to change the font size and color of the data labels. We will look to apply these formatting options to series labels in the near future. Stay tuned for updates in this area!

What is usually the timeline on getting these featured completed? Still staying tuned. thanks

Looking forward to this enhancement

I would like to have possibility to change place for displayed data figures on column graph in a different place like for a legend. I would like to have possibility to display them on the right, left, bottom or top of the column as it is right now. Currently when you use combined graph display and your data are not to big it is not possible to present it well because it lays one on another and are unreadable. Additionally there is no option to change their font size.

It would be great to have the ability to adjust the size of series labels in charts on dashboards.

Eric Watson

Being able to control these is fairly key to a professional looking graph, is this implementation on the roadmap?

The ability to customize the value labels is very important. I have charts where the labels are juxtaposed, and as a result, illegible. Please prioritize this feature, as it's been discussed for a long time. Thanks.

Cynthia Wolf

It would be extremely helpful to be able to change the font size when you select the Show Value Label as the font is much bigger then the other numbers on the chart and it throws off the view.

Rebecca Hill

When working in dashboards it would be useful to format the text of the series label in a chart - adjusting size, font and colour to best show the clear information needed
