Stacked bar chart with label style - Category name

[LGi]

Hi Guys, 

I would like to display the "Category Name" inside the visual Stacked Bar Chart (and not as a legend list on the side).

The defult option sadly allows to display inside the column chart only the percentage, how can I change it to Category name (like it is possible to do in a pie chart).
Is it possible with Power BI? 

Cheers,

Lior

Hi @LGi ,

In the stacked bar chart, we cannot set the information to display in your label property. So I am afraid there is no such a function to achieve this requirement. If you are a experienced coder, you could create a custom visual to display similar information in your chart.

Hi @amitchandak,
Thank you for the quick response, unfortunatly the link helps so show only the %, what I am looking for is to show the category name label inside the visual, not %. Do you know if this is possible?

[amitchandak]

@LGi , for y-axis and x-axis , label as of now there is no option to move in the visual

[LGi]

oh that's a shame 😞 hopefully a solution would be availble soon. Thanks for your support. 

[amitchandak]

@LGi , can you share some diagram of what you are looking for

[LGi]

What I need to create has % in axis, name of country (dimention) + value as label inside the chart

Hi Guys, 

I would like to do the same. 
Any news on this?
Thanks

@Giu I have found a way to do this, you need to create a measure which combines the label and the value:

Category Label = SELECTEDVALUE('TableName'[Country]) & [ValueMeasure]

Then under Data Labels drop down in the Visual section of the Format Visual Pane, go to Values and change Custom Label to 'On' then drag your Category Label measure into it. Bobs your uncle!
