https://communities.sas.com/t5/Graphics-Programming/Bubble-Charts-BLABEL-option/m-p/29670#M867 I assume you're talking about "proc gplot" bubble plots...<BR /> <BR /> Although there have been some recent improvements in "collision avoidance" to help keep labels from overlapping with gplot pointlabels, I still find times when I want to position the labels myself -- in those situations I use annotated text labels (using the position=1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|a|b|c|d|e|f, and/or adding slight offsets) instead of the automatic labels.
