You have formatted the labels on your bar chart to be at the end of the bars. However, there is an overlap for the very longest bar as shown below. How do you fix this?
There is a simple way to fix this with using the Distribution Band on the Analytics pane!
Simply drag Distribution Band to your worksheet.
Delete 60%, 80% of Average Value and type 120%.
Then select Total instead of Average in the last drop-down field.
Your new settings should appear as below in this before and after screen shot.
Your bar chart will now appear as below! Notice that the label on the last bar is no longer overlapping!

I had a chance to speak to Jones and link find out the full story behind his work and these tiny ass watches.
