data labels
2 TopicsCan't turn off data labels once they have been set to 'show: true' in JSON file.
I am working on a JSON file for a custom theme for Power BI. For some of the visuals I have set that data labels should be on. However when I import the theme, I can't manually change this setting in the desktop version. So if I have set the data labels to be on in the JSON file, I can't turn them off manually in desktop version of Power BI. The reverse also happens. If I have turned data labels off in the JSON file, they can't be turned in manually in Power BI. It's only an issue with Data labels. Fx I can turn Total labels and Series labels on/off as I want no matter the settings in the JSON file. The only work-around I found is to go into Data Labels > Apply settings to > and then choose each series and turn off data labels for the series I want. However this is not feasible in settings, where there are many series. I would like to be able to choose whether the Data Labels are on or off by default, but I still need to be able to change it in Power BI for some specific cases of data. Is this a general thing, or is it something specific in my JSON file? I provided an example of the 'labels' section of the JSON file below: Don't know if I should provide the entire JSON file here, as it is quite long? "labels": [ { "show": true, "showSeries": true, "color": { "solid": { "color": { "expr": { "ThemeDataColor": { "ColorId": 0, "Percent": 0 } } } } }, "labelDisplayUnits": 0, "labelPosition": "Auto", "enableBackground": true, "backgroundColor": { "solid": { "color": { "expr": { "ThemeDataColor": { "ColorId": 6, "Percent": 0.2 } } } } }, "backgroundTransparency": 0, "labelOverflow": false, "showAll": false, "fontSize": 8, "fontFamily": "Arial" } ]1.5KViews0likes1Comment
