Hello,

I have avisual with vertical bar charts and then line charts on the y axises. How can I display only selected data labels, rather than all of them?

Thank you!

Hi @SSantangelo ,

On your visual's formatting options --> Go to Data Labels --> Scroll down --> Select Custom Series --> Enable Custom Series --> here you get an option on what labels to show and what not to show by using Show toggle button. See below:

Consider the following chart wher I have my data labels on for both line and bars:

Now suppose I don't want to show labels for the metric on the line on the chart, I select Show as  off for that metric. In my case it is Quantity for which I don't want labels on the visual and I get the following:

In the end I end up with labels shown only for the metric represented as bars on the visual.

Thanks,

Pragati

Looks promising, however, my July 2021 version of PBI does not have this feature, is it something only available for the newer versions ?
I see up to Show Background (transparancy).
