Single Data Point Selection for each part of a graph/chart

Hi,

 

Is there a way to split out the data labels on the Line and Clustered Column chart?  All my data points are too close together.  I honestly just want the percentage data points to show on the line part of the graph and not anywhere else.  If there is not a way to do this, can this be added to the next Power BI Desktop update?  Give the option on where data points are turned on (i.e., line, bar1, bar2, etc.).  Hoping someone might have suggestions.  Thanks!

Hi WWW,

 

i think this isnt possible yet. There has been a similar idea here https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/16839415-data-label You might vote up or create a new one in the idea forum

 

Alternatively you can position and play with labels however you like by creating custom visuals: https://tsmatz.wordpress.com/2016/09/27/power-bi-custom-visuals-programming/

 

 

@az2451 Thanks for the information, Tom.  I'll go make my vote on the site you mentioned and take a look at the other document regarding positioning the labels.

 

Cheers,

Paul
