Concatenate Label Bug

Hi,

 

I am trying to turn off concatenate label in X-axis but nothing happens. I've read a few articles dated 4 years ago and tried to do what they did but it does not work.

 

Is there an updated workaround to turn off concatenate labels?

 

Thanks!

@darentengmfs that's weird, not sure what to tell. I know when I don't sort the visual by the x-axis, concatenation on and off doesn't do anything. Hmmm, by chance you can share pbix with the sample data.

@darentengmfs if you sort your chart visual by the column on x-axis only then concatenate on and off will work otherwise not.

I have 2 duplicate pages that have the same visuals. The first page uses Shipping Country and State as the Axis while the second page uses Billing Country and State as the Axis.

 

The labels do not concatenate in the second page but concatenates in the first page. Nothing is different besides the fields used as the axis.

 

Also, I've tried sorting by the columns and it still does not work.

@darentengmfs 

Normally you need to sort the visual by the columns to get it sorted. Have you tried that?
