Conditional formating for line chart label

Hi,

I have some problem displaying a good line chart for my project :

graph pbo.PNG


I would like to apply a conditonal formating on labels so every 100,0% would be invisible because, as you can see, it's a mess.
Or i would like to have the possibility to hide most of the same value that are consecutive.

 

I know it is currently impossible to apply conditional formating to anything in line chart and i probably choose the wrong part of the forum to post but i wanted to share this suggestion for Power BI.

PS : and no, reducing the label density isn't a good option, doesn't really work well, even by customize each label value, and do the opposite of what i want : enhance all the important values

Thank you for the reply @bfernandez

I already know what you say but none of that is a good solution for me

Also @Pragati11, i can't really share data and i already know there is nothing currently available to solve my problem.
The whole point of my post was to share a potential ideas for Power BI to improve

Then in regards to your edit, there is currently no feature allowing for conditional formatting on the actual labels.

 

What I would suggest is going to the Data labels field in the Format tab and use Customize series.

 

Here, just toggle the Show  so that the labels will not show for that paricular column or measure.

Then, the end user can simply hover over the line to see the important value they are looking for.

You can format the Y axis in the Format for that particular visualization. This is set to Auto by default.

 

Because it is a percentage, try putting 1.5 as you End bound to get the 150% upper bound you are looking for.
