How do I turn off a data label?

It looks as if this is a completed feature:

https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/10375014-select-which-data-labels-to-display

 

And I have the latest version of PowerBI desktop. I want to turn off data labels for one of my columns, but leave it on for the other two. Here is what I want to do - label my two columns, but not the red goal line.

 

Red goal line does not need a label

How do I accomplish this? Thank you.

    I didn't had chance to test it but seems like it is not working as expected. As far as I know this feature is still not available.

    Hi winecountryrach

     

    It does not work when you create a bar chart as shown by you.

     

    The workaround is convert this into a linechart and turn off the lables you do not want to appear. 

     

    Then convert this back to the bar chart you will achieve what you want.

     

    If this solves youur issue please accept it as a solution and also give KUDOS.

     

    Cheers

      Anonymous Thank you for your post unfortunately this did not work for me.  When I convert to a line chart, I do see the option to turn off my goal line label. I turn it off. Then I go back to my Line and Clustered Column Chart and the goal labels are back.

      I'm just trying to use this workaround - how do I turn off one set of data labels in the line chart? 

      Thx :)
