turn on data label for pie chart

Is there any way to turn on data label for pie chart, similar to that of a clustered column chart? I would like to be able to see the percentage from each piece of the pie without hovering the mouse on it. I expected this should be a basic setting for a pie chart.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Currently, we are not able to set pie chart data label display as percentage values. It might be a good idea to vote for the suggestion on ideas forum: Pie Chart percentage labels.

 

In your scenario, you can create a measure to calculate percentage values and change its format as percentage. Then place the measure in Values property of pie chart. Please refer to screenshots below:

 

Measure = DIVIDE(sum(financials[ Sales]),CALCULATE(sum(financials[ Sales]),ALL(financials[Product])))

If you have any question, please feel free to ask

@Anonymous You just select pie chart, go to paintbrush tab, Detail Labels, turn it on and under Label Style dropdown select Both.

This solution work for me. But you have to set Quick Cal of value also.

OK. In this way, at least I see data on the pie. But I would like to see the percentage. Can it be done?
