adding data labels to 100% stacked bar chart

hi

 

I would like the bar to not only show % of total, but also the name of category next to it (very similar to detail labels in pie chart)

 

how can I do that?

Hi, @fsfs ;

I'll try to rephrase it

I have it like this:

*cat A   *cat B

_______

|         |

55%|

|______|

|         |

45%|

|______|

 

I want it like this   

 

_______

cat A|

55%|

|______|

| cat B|

45%|

|______|

 

or like this

 

_______

|         |

55%| --- cat A

|______|

|         |

45%| --- cat B

|______|

Hi, @fsfs ;

According your description, you could create a measure to calculate the percentage of every category. I create a simple example and create a measure as follows:

sales%1 = CALCULATE(SUM([Sales EUR]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Year],'Table'[category]))/CALCULATE(SUM([Sales EUR]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Year]))

then change the visualization's setting.

@fsfs , You need to use a measure that % percent. If you want to show percent

 

Assume you have measure

Axis is using col1

 

then use measure

divide([measure], calculate([measure], filter(allselected(Table), Table[Col1] = max(Table[Col1]))))

 

if need use a stacked line and show measure

calculate([measure], filter(allselected(Table), Table[Col1] = max(Table[Col1])))

 

on that and show labels and change line color same as background color
