I cannot figure out a solution to this task, the labels seem to not align even when I follow the outline in the task. I’ve added a text node, and appended x and y axis for the labels which need to sit above the bars. Please see instructions in link, however, nothing seems to make it look ok. **Your code so far** ```html ``` **Your browser information:** User Agent is: `Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0`. **Challenge:** Add Labels to D3 Elements **Link to the challenge:** > **[freeCodeCamp.org](https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/data-visualization/data-visualization-with-d3/add-labels-to-d3-elements)** > > Learn to Code — For Free ---

Currently every your label contains all values of your dataset - take a look at `.text(dataset)`. Changing this to display just single value in each label should help you with clarity and allow to tackle the proper positioning. ---
