    I'm afraid this may can't be achieved in power bi because the label shows y-axis value which can't be changed in line chart. You can submit your idea here.

    Hi Jimmy v-yuta-msft,

     

    Here is a sample pbix and the data source.

    Basically I need to plot two lines in a chart, one is for total income and the other one is tax. I created a report and you can see it in the attached file.

     

    Here is the issue: There is a percentage field in the data source. What I want to do is to change the label for tax line and show percentage in this label without changing the y-axis and tax values. In the report the percentage is in tool tip but I need this to be displayed as label not in tool tip. (Also this percentage can be calculated on the fly, it doesn't need to be a field if it is easier to do.) 

     

    Thanks!
