Value Data Label Overlaps With Another Series

Hi all -

I have one series on my chart set as column type with data value labels
I have another series as line type to create a benchmark line across the chart
The chart is interactive where user can select 1 of 20 units.
On some of the units, the labels are overlapping the line type chart and causing a poor display.

Any ideas on how to circumvent this problem?
Thanks

Thanks Andy -

The benchmark line is in front of the columns.
The workbook is too large to post
Please PM me with your e-mail address if you would like to see the workbook

I've attached a sample of a chart where the data value label overlaps the benchmark line

Thanks
