Power BI not showing all data labels

I have charts like this:

 

 

data labels.png

 

I know that selecting clustered bar charts will will solve this issue but I prefer stacked bar charts for this specific data. Is there a way to force the yellow labels to show?

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Thanks for your help.

I solved the problem. In fact i needed to put label format to 100% (used to be 50%)

Don't know exactly what it means but all i know is that it works  !  🙂

Changing Label Density from 50% to 100% worked for me. I had 2 out of 9 labels randomly missing.

Thank you.

Hi @travbum,

 

Based on my test in Power BI Desktop version 2.40.4554.463, after enable the Data Labels, data labels will display in all stacked bars within a stacked column chart, see:

In your scenario, please try to update the Power BI desktop to version 2.40.4554.463.

Great work mate!

 

Thanks

@Sean - Looking at your link, the images show columns in a bar chart that don't have values displayed, so perhaps it's not possible: (Music, Movies and Audio column and TV and Video column)

data label rotation

 

 

 

 

@v-qiuyu-msft - I already have the most updated version. 

 

@travbum@cedboumfrancois Would you please share the .PBIX file for our analysis? Or could you share some sample data for us to reproduce the issue?

@cedboumfrancois Where did you see label format?

Hi @travbum,

 

I guess the property @cedboumfrancois mentioned may be Label Density.

yes exactly !

sorry could not find it.

@v-qiuyu-msft I honestly don't have time to recreate the scenario and can't copy the data due to it being sensitive. If it should come up again in the future I'll try and respond here. 

Same for me.

 

MS please help !

Are you using the October version? It has a lot more options for controlling data labels.
