Text Data Point

[DanielLinda]

Hi Experts !

Is there any way to make text(actually it is X axis) data point on line graph?

Thanks in advance.

@DanielLinda , Axis is text /categorical. Not sure what do mean.

The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.

Appreciate your Kudos.

Sorry for missed detail.

What I want looks like this.

As you can see in graph, I want to show project name on its start date(X axis).

I don't know how to make it so I just made text box manually on every bar chart.

How can I do this, please give me any suggestion.

Thanks.

Hi @DanielLinda ，

Based on my research, it is not supported yet currently. You can come up with a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
