Hi,
I have created a pie chart and I would like all tooltips to show outside the chart without overlapping. Is this possible? I have tried several alignments and I could not find a way. The labels cannot be moved manually since there is a filter that needs to be applied and the labels will change their position.
Please find attached an example.
Thanks!

You've stumbled upon one reason pie carts (with a lot of pieces) are challenging.
Pie graphs are good for showing percent-to-whole, but when you have so many pieces (including so many tiny ones), it becomes difficult to process. Even if each piece were labeled, how long would it take you find the 3 smallest countries?
I strongly recommend you consider a simple bar chart. Each country will have one full line and be simple to read-- along with an associated bar (and value).
With a sorted bar graph you can find your outliers in a flash-- with clear labels, no less 😀
As a bonus, you won't need a separate color key that will take up space:
