    2. Set the position of the data labels.
      For example, for line charts you can display the labels above the lines, to the left or right of the points on the lines, or below the lines.

    4. Select a label pattern to specify how the data is labeled.
      For example, for bar charts, combo charts, and scatter charts, you can show labels for all the elements or only for the groups or colors. For line charts, you can show labels only for line ends or for maximum and minimum values. For pie charts, you can specify whether to show the metric label as a value or percent.

    The available formatting options depend on the type of the visual.
