Write text on graph

Hi!

Does anyone know if beside the title of the graph and the legend, I could maybe write additional text inside the graph?

Maybe something like I have attached in the picture with Yearly Target etc. This is something that should be extra from the legend.

Thanks!bigraph.PNG

I don't think that is possible.

 

But maybe as a workaround, you can use text boxes and grids (with transparent borders, no headers)/card visual and bring the graph to the front.

Hi @CrisSmeu

You are able to edit title text of the graph and legend, adjust legend name position using the settings under Format.

However, if you want to write additional text inside the graph in the format as shown in your screenshot, as other post, add a Text Box  or create card visuals.

You can create new columns by using formula below, then create card visuals using new columns and drag these card visuals into your graph.

TextColumn = "Actual behavior : 4 Actual: 14"
TextColumn1 = "Yearly target behavior: 36 Yearly target: 108"
