Chart percentage display needs to be neater

[newjerseyhoward]

When using line charts with percentages at various intervals, the resulting
chart usually has the percentages displayed over the trendline and I end up
having to click each percentage and move them so they can be more easily seen
on the chart.

Is there a way to automate this either at the time I run the chart or once
created?
Thanks.

You could select the set of labels, press CTRL+1 (numeral one) to open the
Format Data Labels dialog, and on the Alignment tab, choose the Above or
Below position option, instead of the default Left.
