Adding Numeric Data Labels to a Gantt Chart

I have a gantt chart created for a project and it's tasks. The bars are the durations of each task, with darker color representing our internal duration, and the lighter color representing external durations. I need to add the days it took for each color shade inside the bar. Any thoughts on how to add? Only label I can add right now is the status of the task, example below "Approved".

Hi @MMurphy 

 

You may not be able to do this by adjusting the format.

 

However, I can provide other solutions for your reference:

 

Here's some dummy data

 

“Project schedule”

Create a new column. Used to describe values represented by different shades of color.

 

Description = 
"Per:" & 'Project schedule'[Per] & " " &  "Dur:" & 'Project schedule'[Dur]

Create a visual. Put the Description column in Resource and enable Data Labels.

Here is the result.
