Series label visibility and sort order

 

Hi

 

Have couple of questions...

Created a stacked area chart.

1. added series label to the chart (right view). but the stack area close to each other, some of the labels are not visible. Is there a way to display all the labels irrespective of resize the chart. Clothing is missing.

2. Is it possible to sort the chart as per sales amount from largest to smaller. So bikes at the bottom, components , clothing and accessories (blue line) at the top.

Hi, I know tis an old post but how did you overcome the first series label always appearing no matter what you filter?

Hi, @Gugan_BI 

Regarding the first question, you can try to change the position of the 'Series labels' (right->left) or put some fields from 'Values' to the 'Secondary values'.

Hi,

As regards the second question, you should be able to click on the 3 dots and specify the sort order.

Hi Ashish,

 

Thanks for joining into the discussion - here is a link to the problem, sample data, measure, and screen shot of problem. "Solutions" so far are only work arounds to an ongoing problem where the first value in the series label always shows, I'd hoped the latest update would resolve this, but alas no...

If you have time see if you can solve this, with the sample data I've supplied 🙂

 

Kind regards
