Tableau Quick Tip | Formatting Labels

Have you ever found that the labels on your chart overlap or they just aren’t positioned where you want them to be? Have you tried adjusting the alignment settings of the label but to no avail? Then this quick tip is for you!

Simply click on the label and you will see a small yellow diamond appear above it. You can then drag the label to the position you want. That’s it!

This is one of those tricks that blew my mind when I found out about it. I hope this helps you with your label formatting needs! 😊
