I have Power BI desktop and i am trying to give custom labels to my data points. All the posts talk about a details option where you add the data to be used as labels. But I dont have that option under visualisation. I only have Values, x axis, y axis, legend, size, play axis and tooltips. I that only availalbe for the online option?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@klippie Try inserting the data to here. I am guessing the second picture is what you looking for.
Depending on the data , might worth creating a index column.
Thanks, but I have found that. But need to change the actual label. It is using my xy coords and I want names for the points. I see that I must add it to details but I dont have that option. So that is what I am looking for.

I see this is exactly what I want. I tried making an index column and then do I use the column I want to use for the labels? It still gives me the same error. the column is the index column that I added and holeNum the "name" i want to use.
the error is regarding the sum.
Try switching to sum or unsumarrise on X and Y value .
So the "format" of the data I want to use needs to be changed. Will try that quickly. Thanks
