Data Labels - Line and Stacked Column Chart

Hi

 

I would like to show only the data labels for the line chart in a "Line and Stacked Column Chart". I do not want labels for the Stacked Columns, Is it possible?

There's a option under Data Labels, called "Customized Series", which allows you to do that. 

 

The following link shows you how:

Love to have the data labels customized.  I want to have labels on the stacked column only and be able position them.

yes! It will be nice to have that flexibility of choosing what do we want to display as data labels on the stacked column chart. right now, it only let us select the field from "Values" property which is not plain text and either its "count of.." or "distinct count of".

 

I am still looking at how we can display a text as data label on stacked chart

Hi @prasannavp,

Currently, it is impossible to how only the data labels for the line chart in combo chart. An idea that separate data label control in combo chart has been submitted in the following link, please vote it up.
