Show data label only to one line
Hello
As attached below, I want to know if is it possible to show data labels only for one line in a line chart ?
What I can do is just changing the form or adding markers but data labels when activated are showed for all lines.
Thanks
Anonymous - You can accomplish this by doing the following:
1. Creating a separate measure for each item in your legend, like calculate(<measure>, <legendtable>[legendcolumn] = "legend value")
2. Remove the legend and the current measure from the line chart.
3. Add all of the measures to the line chart.
4. Then Data Labels will have the Customize Series option.

This solution worked for me. Thanks.This is a bit of a hack but you can make a copy of the graph so you have two identical graphs (make sure both the x and y axis are fixed to the same min/max). On one graph remove all of the lines you don't want to display the data and turn data labels on for this graph. On the second graph remove all of the lines you do want with data. If you then overlay them then you'll have the desigered effect.
