Data Labels - different source

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone ✌️

I have a brief question:
I am making a stacked column bar chart and I'd like to have a different source for my data labels than the value.

Is this possible or are there at least any tricks or visuals I could use instead?

Thank you so much for your help. 😊

Hi, @Anonymous 

It is unsupported to custom data labels for charts in Power BI currently. I'd like to suggest you vote on the Idea and add your comments there to improve Power BI for making this feature coming sooner.

Best Regards

@Anonymous , Not sure I got. But different label value I doubt. You can show on tooltip

Thanks for your quick reply but sadly it doesn't help me. My goal is to substitute the value through a text as a data label.

@Anonymous , I doubt that is possible. Let us check with other super users

@Anonymous  as @amitchandak  suggested, it is not possible as of today. I'm sure there is a idea on this on ideas forum, please vote for it.
