Data label - end of line - name of the legend (category)

Hi,
I am trying to make a line chart splited on multiple categories and months.
At the end of each line I would like to label the line with the name of the category.

 

This is an example of what I want to obtain at the end.

 

Can you please help me with how can I do this?

Hi @Anonymous ,

In line chart, you can enable Legend function under Format to set its position, name and so on while the legend name could not be shown at the end of each line.

When you enable Data label function under Format, it will just show the value of each group and you can change their position and fomats.

For further information about Line chart, you can refer the following Microsoft document:

It would be realy nice to add this "end of line label" as a feature. Tableau has it and it makes my life easier 🙂

 

Agreed!  This seems like it should be an easy win!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks for your suggestion!

Thanks @v-yingjl ... My chart has 5 categories and it's not easy to search for each color aside.
Anyway, I have made a simple color scheme to bea easier for the users to find the corect line 🙂
