Can't find Line chart density
Hi guys,
I'm currently confronted with a strange thing.
After downloading the latest PBI Version (June2016) and looking the video I tried the thing with the line chart data label density.
I simply do not have the option "Density".
Any Idea?
Thanks :)
Hi RonjaSchermer,
In a Line chart, Label Density feature is available when the X-axis display numbers or dates, and X-axis Type is set as Continuous.
The reason is that when the X-axis is Category type, there is a scroll bar for us to see each data point clearly by scrolling right or left. And if X-axis values are not numbers or dates, the axis is Category type by default. But if it's Continuous type, there is no scroll bar and don't have labels in X-axis for each data point. The Label Density is used in this scenario.
So in your scenario, you need to check if the X-axis values are numbers or dates, and make sure X-axis is Continuous type. See:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
