Custom labels on a line chart

Hi does any one have any experience using labels instead of y axis measures on a line chart. Want to show names rather than measurements.

    Hi Malbfar1,

    In fact, these chart y-axis fields only support aggregated values, they do not support text values. If you put text field in it, they will also be force aggregated with count mode.

    If you mean to show the text on the tooltip, you can try to create custom report tooltip page with measure formula and CONCATENATEX function to show these aggregated text values.
