Numbers are overlapping when using option ‘Show data label’ on any stacked visual, including bars, area, and lines

as of this post Since 2020 this is a problem

You can use the Chart Config Editor to specify where you want the data labels to be positioned. For example, if you have 3 series, the following code would move the position of the data values for the 1st series so they were 20 pixels higher:

// Series 1 = the first column in the data table
  series: [{ // series 1
    dataLabels: {
      enabled: true,
      x: 0, // offset the horizontal position of label
      y: -20, // offset the vertical position of label
    }
  }, { // series 2
    dataLabels: {
      enabled: true,
    }
  }, { //series 3
    dataLabels: {
      enabled: true,
    }
  }],
