<!-- Answer --> Here’s what I found regarding your Superset chart display issues: **1. X-Axis Label Hidden for Final Year (Line Chart)** This is a known challenge, especially with time series charts. In Superset’s ECharts-based line charts, the X-axis configuration uses a property called `hideOverlap: true` to automatically prevent label collisions, but this can sometimes result in the last label (e.g., 2025) being omitted if there isn’t enough space or if the axis bounds are not set precisely. There isn’t a direct user-facing toggle to always show the last tick/label, but you can try these workarounds: - In the chart’s Customize panel, look for the X-axis bounds or “Truncate X Axis” options. Explicitly setting the upper bound to your final year (e.g., 2025) may help ensure it appears. - If you’re using legacy NVD3 charts, enabling the “Show Min/Max” option for the X-axis (`xAxisShowMinMax`) can force the display of the first and last labels, but this is not always available in ECharts-based charts. - Rotating X-axis labels (`xAxisLabelRotation`) or increasing the chart width can sometimes create enough space for the final label to render. - If you have control over the dataset, ensure there is at least one data point for the final year and that it is not filtered out by any chart or dashboard filters. For more technical details, see the relevant code and configuration in the [ECharts timeseries transformProps](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/b033406387794bed3a951a2f1e2b047669523100/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Timeseries/transformProps.ts) and [NVD3 chart rendering](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/b033406387794bed3a951a2f1e2b047669523100/superset-frontend/plugins/legacy-preset-chart-nvd3/src/NVD3Vis.js). **2. Data Labels Overlapping or Missing (Bar/Line Charts)** Superset recently introduced a label positioning feature for bar charts, allowing you to choose where data labels appear: Inside, Top, Bottom, Left, Right, or Outside. The “Inside” position uses special styling for readability. You can find this option in the bar chart configuration panel’s dropdown menu. This helps reduce overlap and improve clarity, especially for dense or small values. For more, see [this discussion](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/33135). For both bar and line charts, Superset’s ECharts plugin sets `hideOverlap: true` for axis labels, which helps avoid collisions but may hide some labels if space is tight. You can also: - Rotate X-axis labels to 45° or stagger them to reduce overlap. - Enable “Data Zoom” controls to let users zoom into crowded areas of the chart. - Adjust axis title margins (e.g., increase Y-axis title margin from the default 15 to 45) to prevent axis titles from overlapping with tick labels ([reference](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/32528)). - For line charts, you can adjust marker size and enable/disable markers to help with label visibility ([line chart controls](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/b033406387794bed3a951a2f1e2b047669523100/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Timeseries/Regular/Line/controlPanel.tsx)). Currently, there is no user-facing toggle to conditionally hide or reposition overlapping value labels on line charts, but the above options can help mitigate the issue. If you need more technical details or want to explore the code, see the [ECharts timeseries transformProps](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/b033406387794bed3a951a2f1e2b047669523100/superset-frontend/plugins/plugin-chart-echarts/src/Timeseries/transformProps.ts) and [bar chart label positioning feature](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/33135). If you have a specific chart type or configuration, let me know and I can help you find the most relevant workaround. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention my name [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
