data = <|"Location NH" -> 1, "Location MO" -> 1, "Location WA" -> 2, 
  "Location OH" -> 3, "Location CO" -> 4, "Location CA" -> 6, 
  "Location TX" -> 7, "Location IL" -> 150|>

BarChart[data, LabelingFunction -> Right, BarOrigin -> Left, 
 ChartLabels -> Automatic, ImageSize -> 600]

The label overlaps with the axis and chart label

Is there a way to get the label to appear to the left of the bar rather than inside the left side of the bar? Similar to Above, which displays the label above the top of the bar?

BarChart[data, LabelingFunction -> Above, ChartLabels -> Automatic, 
 ImageSize -> 600]

For putting the labels the right of the bar you can use LabelingFunction -> After:

BarChart[data, LabelingFunction -> After, BarOrigin -> Left, 
 ChartLabels -> Automatic, ImageSize -> 600]

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks!. All of the possible values Left, Right, Above, Below, Center, After, Before, etc. don't seem to be documented in a single page. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Rohit, my pleasure. Thank you for the accept. You are right about documentation. The possible values for the second argument of Placed varies depending on where it is used. $\endgroup$
