Concatenate Labels option does nothing?
Thank you OneWithQuestion for pointing towards the right direction to solve the problem:
Concatenate Labels option works for the following scenario:
[1] When you first select your clustered column chart and then add your entry to the "value" and then add your fields to the "axis" and then switch your formatting "concatenate label" off
[2] without selecting a chart type, you first select the fields for the "axis" (e.g. month, quarter, year) and then select the measure for value e.g. units sold and then switch your formatting "concatenate label" off
Concatenate Labels option does not work for the following scenario:
without selecting a chart type, you first select the measure for "value" e.g. units sold and then select the fields for the "axis" (e.g. month, uarter, year) and then switch your formatting "concatenate label" off - (nothing happens)
- to me this looks like a bug
I hope that i have been clear on how to work around this problem. I have tested the above 3 appoaches a few times
I tried to follow the workaround earlier, but this basic functionality is still broken? See screenshot. I'm using the April update.
sykr0n did you do the following order:
step 1: select the stacked columns chart (do not select the fields before selecting the charts)
step 2: select the entry for the "value" field
step 3: select the multiple fields for the "Axis"
step 4: go to formatting --> x axis --> switch concatenate label to off

I just tried the workaround and it still doesn't work. By the way, I'm using the Power BI Desktop client (April Update), not the service. Maybe, it's working in the online service?
- Same here as well. I also tried to use it on a table... It has the ootion but enabling it does not wrap column headers.
