How to display Text values on Bar chart?
- 5 years ago
Hi, Anonymous
As far as I know, this is impossible to achieve, the value has its own value attribute.
The bar graph itself cannot display text. The reason why I suggest you change your judgment condition to -1 is to keep the attribute of the value. The reason why it is -1 instead of 1 is because the custom formatting acts on positive, negative and zero values. Use -1 to distinguish it from the other two cases (1, 0).
According to your expectations, 1 and 1* are on the same horizontal line, which means that the value of 1* is 1. This cannot distinguish 1 from another 1. This is the purpose of -1. Once -1 is used, there are positive and negative axes, which cannot be avoided. Although the final result has a positive and negative axis, it better shows the actMonth.Glad to see different solutions.

Hi Anonymous ,
are you familiar with the External Tool Tabular Editor?
You need to download and install it first.
https://github.com/TabularEditor/TabularEditor/releases/tag/2.16.1
After the installation, you can start it from the menu bar.
Here you can create a Calculation Group (Table).
Here you create a Calculation Item.
Define the "Expression"
Define the "Format String Expression" and save the change
This solution is not yet optimal but a kind of proof of concept.
