Measure-driven DataLabels

[jeff_weir1]

We need to be able to label specific data points with dynamically generated values (including text). Use cases include: * Labeling the first or last point of line charts with values * Labeling the last point of series in a line chart with the series name, to directly inform the user which series is which, rather than have them constantly move their eyes between a legend and the many series on a graph. * Labeling particular values of interest, to aid storytelling. These things are bulk-standard features of good dashboard design, and are essential in order to design optimal user-friendly dashboards with low cognitive burden. Gotta say that humble ol' Excel is streets ahead of Power BI in regards to data labeling. Note that measure-driven tooltips are NOT a substitute for this feature. We need ways to draw the users' attention to particular points or features without relying on mouse-over.

Yes, this is desperately needed. The same concept that you did with "Dynamic titles". Please make this possible for "Dynamic Data Labels" using a measure. For example. I have bar chart with 2 bars and one of the bar values is 10% and the other is 60%. But I want the label showing to be 10/100 and 60/1000. So I would use a measure to show this labels.

There is a workaround via Calculation Groups. It is not as nice as what we would want (e.g. a simple Measure to select as datalabels) but it does work. Only downside is, you cannot do any line breaks

Here is a great video explaining how it works ...
