Display labels for dates
hi svarghese,
Data labels in Power BI are dependent upon measures used. You may format how the measures appear but showing as label other than the measure values is currently not possible. You may create measures to be used as tooltips as an alternative - they appear when hovering a data point in your visual - althought this may not be what you want.
The measure below will return concatenated texts from a column.
milestones = CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ( [column] ), [column], ", " )
Thanks danextian. I would prefer to have somthig to be static on the graph and not only when hovering. The concatentae definetly seems like a good option for now. Would be better if I could actually have milestone dates marked like in the graph i had attached.

Hi svarghese
You may post this idea on https://ideas.powerbi.com
Would also love to have an option to place a static label other than the actual measure. Let me know the link so I can also vote for it.

I couldnt attach a sample graph, so hopefully the description makes sense.
