Helper IIICustom data label on area chart not showing value. Measure displays correctly on a table
Hi jasemilly ,
Thank you for your follow-up and for pinpointing that the issue was due to missing dates in the fact table. If the dataset doesn’t cover a continuous date range, visuals like the area chart may not render labels for dates with no data, even though the measure works correctly in a table.
To fix this, create a separate Date table, mark it as a Date Table in your model, and link it to your fact table. Using functions like ISINSCOPE() or COALESCE() can help ensure your measure returns values for all dates, allowing labels to display consistently.
Glad to see you and tayloramy have already identified the root cause. If you can provide an updated PBIX via a public link, the community can review and confirm your solution resolves the visual issue.
Thank you.
Helper IIIYes that is my intended goal, and I have tried splitting it into 2 measures. It doesn't work in my report. I beleive this approach should work and I can see it does in your example. Just not on my report, and I am at a complete loss as to why not.
Super UserHi jasemilly,
My text table measure is also a little different than yours, have you tried using mine in your report?
Growth Label (text) =
VAR g = [Growth %]
RETURN
IF (
NOT ISBLANK ( g ),
FORMAT ( g, "0.0%" ) & " " & IF ( g >= 0, "▲", "▼" ),
"" // empty string (not BLANK) so the visual will still try to draw it
)
If this still doesn't work, can you post sample data where this isn't working so we can replicate the issue?
If you found this helpful, consider giving some Kudos. If I answered your question or solved your problem, mark this post as the solution.
