@Anonymous , Axis is text /categorical. Not sure what do mean.

The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

Appreciate your Kudos.

Sorry for missed detail.

 

What I want looks like this.

As you can see in graph, I want to show project name on its start date(X axis).

I don't know how to make it so I just made text box manually on every bar chart.

 

How can I do this, please give me any suggestion.

 

Thanks.

Sorry @Anonymous , not sure I understand what you are asking. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
