Custom Data Labels are Completely Unuable -- Jan 2024
Hi!
A few months ago, I had the opposite problem that had been solved up until recently, and I just wanted to make Microsoft aware of a new issue as it is now affecting both Desktop and Service.
Anecdotally, Custom Data Labels have been hit or miss since I started working with Power BI around early 2021. After working for a few months, I believe they're once again broken (as of January 2024).
I create custom data labels because default data labels are usually too abundant and/or I want to modify what the label shows. Here's the dax again for the measure that I'm using for my custom data label, which remains unchanged since the previous post:
- Sometimes I'm able to change the color of the label text, sometimes I'm not. Sometimes, I'm even able to change it to one color, but not to another.
- Sometimes the labels show what the Custom Label returns, sometimes it shows what the actual data value is.
- Sometimes completely rebuilding the graph fixes the issue, sometimes it doesn't.
- Sometimes the data label displays correctly on Service while displaying incorrectly on desktop. Sometimes its the other way around.
- Sometimes the data lables just don't show at all, sometimes they do!
All of these things can occur simultaneously throughout the dashboard on different visuals. I don't even know where to start asking for help because the issues are changing every time I reopen the file on my desktop or refresh the page on service.
This may have turned into more of a rant, but I'm truly curious if anyone else experiences one or more of these issues and if there's any known fix/indication that a fix is in the works.
Cheers!
Edit: I have tried all combinations of Value/Detail/Layout I can think of but the issues persist.
