In the past day or two, my report force concatenates x-axis labels when I drill down. I explicitly switched the concatenation to off, but the chart still performs in error.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks for the reply.
I have already done this, but when drilled, the parent label is retained and concatenated.
Seems like buggy performance.
I have tested on my side, it works well too.
could you please share your screenshots, and if possible please share your sample pbix file for us have a test.

I have shown below the 3 levels of drilling granularity and the "Concatenate labels" slider to off in each image.
I simply want the label for the current level of granularity to be displayed.
Is there something I am missing?
Thank you for your help so far.
Hi @andrewwglenn ,
You have to order the values in the chart in order to get the concatenate function working.
You mean sort the measures? Or dimensions?
I tried both in ascending and descending arrangements, and the concatenation persists.
Or do you mean something different by ordering?
Sort it by the first item of columns in axis, if you have more than 1.
Thanks, Ricardo
I guess I will have to accept the limitations of the software and feature.
I appreciate it.
Did it work ?
I don't have idea why we need to sort it to have it working.
It works only when sorted by the dimension (I cannot sort by the measure and have the concatenation function as desired).
I accepted your recommendation of sorting the dimensions as a solution.
