Selective Data Labels

[Teige]

Hey Friends,

I've run into my first PowerBi Request that I haven't been able to work around. 

I have built a basic Line chart. I've got Data Labels turned on. 

I've been asked to show only a few select Data labels on the chart. I need to remove the majority of labels but only leave the ones the users want. 

Any idea how I can keep only the Data Labels requested? 

Thanks!

Hi @Teige,

As far as I know, there is no such option to show only selected labels on the line chart currently. I would suggest you add it as an idea on Power BI Ideas forum to improve Power BI on this feature.

Thanks @v-ljerr-msft,

I'll head over and drop that as a suggestion!

Thanks again for the help,

Teige

Could you please drop a link to your suggestion, I've just run into the same issue!

I ended up voting up a couple of existing ones.

My favorite is a more general call for more control over data labels:
