Label font color depending on position

Question

Hello

Is there a way, I can change a data label font color depending on it position. In the chart below the font is gray. I would like it white if it's inside the bar and black if it's outside?

Thanks in advance
Ron.

Hi @ron barlow ,

We couldn't change the data label color conditionally with the position.

It seems that you have set the BarLabelStyle as left, we'd suggest that you may set it as outside.

When the bar label style is set to Outside, the labels will be placed outside of the bar, as long as it fits in the chart area.

If the label cannot be placed outside of the bar but inside of the chart area, the label is placed inside the bar at the position closest to the end of the bar.

If the label is placed inside the bar, you may set like this.

Zoe

It looks like you're using BarLabelStyle to control whether the label is shown inside or outside the bar. Therefore you could use the same expression to control the color of the text. However if the label cannot fit outside the bar then the rendered will put it inside anyway so for larger bars it won't work properly.
