Data Label on Bar Chart

Hi Folks,

I have an issue regarding displaying data labels. In the attached chart image I have used a field -Expenditure- as values and Year on X-axis. I want the data labels to shows the percentage of expenditure in a year rather than showing the absolute value of expenditure. But I want to keep the size of bars in proportion to expenditure exact amount. because as you all can see if I want to display %, then I select show value as a percent which makes all bars add up to 100% thus I am losing information of which year has more expenses than others. Hope I am making sense. Please refer to the image and thank you for taking the time to help me out.

 

Regards

Sankalp

    Anonymous in this case the option you have is to create a % measure using following expression and you can only use it on the tooltip,  you cannot replace data labels

     

    Base Measure = SUM ( Table[Amount] )

% Share = DIVIDE ( [Base Measure], CALCULATE ( [Base Measure], Table[ColumnOnLegend] ) )
