Please use tooltipService to render tooltips. You can follow our documentation.

Thanks v-viig!
I followed the online documentation and was able to add Tooltips to my visual.

However the requirement is to display the data Labels without having to hover each bar.

    TooltipService is to show tooltip on hover event. To show labels all the time we would recommend to develop own Label component.
