data labels

[Anonymous]

How do I get data labels to show on a bar graph?   I can see the label when I hover over the column but I need the lable to show permentaly for an executive report.   I.e.  inventory amount per month in one column.  We only can show the amount but not the month name.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Did you try this option? Turn that ON.

Yes, when I turned that data labels on, I get the amounts.   I was hoping for the column name to show. 

As an example, the labels for the green boxes will show 20 but I want them to show January which is the data columnn its pulling the value from.

HI @Anonymous ,

Looking at this post it seems power bi doesn't support it.

Thanks for the information.   I guess I'll need to consider other tool options at this point.   I hope they have a future feature planned for data labels.   Our pviot table business folks require similar features before migrating over to PowerBI.
