Data Labels on Bar Charts

When i publish my report template in to a working group online, i can change a pie charts 'Detail label' so that the results of the pie chart are shown as an individual count, and then an overall percentage of the data set - see example below;

I am attempting to show the same count on a bar chart - so the bar detail label shows the count, and the overall percentage. However i can only see the 'Detail label' option on pie charts. Does anyone know how to make this information available on a bar chart?

Hi,

 

It seems that the bar chart only supports one label a time. We can choose percentage or values. Maybe we can add a tooltip which doesn’t show up directly.

Please create an idea in https://ideas.powerbi.com for your feature request.Data Labels on Bar Charts.jpg
