    HI Blake,

    I display Data Labels in some of my reports, the value comes from Y-axis Data Column in mine. The X-axis has name which is not displayed. I can display the data labels in both orientations of the bar chart, Default and Swap Axes

    Are the labels you are using coming from this?

    If not share a little more information on which values are used for X and Y Axis.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    Steve, thanks for the reply.  I know your name from somewhere but can't place it.  Maybe we met at the conference in the past.

    Anyhow, here is a screenshot.  The values that show up when data labels are turned on are the start year and end year.  What I really want is how many $$$ are allocated over the time period.  I can get that in my quicktip on hover, but I'd love to show it on the graph.  End-users.....

    Hi Blake,

    I been to both conferences, I am sure we must have met up.

    I have just created Series,Bar Range from scratch. I am not using years like you but days of the week, range LastWeekStart to LastWeekEnd. Group filter on DayofWeekName and create High and Low GroupAggregatedColumns. X-axis Data Column, DayofWeekName. No attributes in Data Labels. I can share some code if it helps.

    These charts are Default/SwapAxes.

    I think the difference between our setups is that the charts above the Y-axis axis go along with the actual representation of the bars.  In my use case, I essentially have X (category), Y (year), and "Z" (amount).  I don't want to represent the "Z" in the length of the bar, but rather I'd like to just see the amount as a label.

    I turned on data labels and have a screenshot with the quick tip.  Where the screenshot shows the end year I'd like it to have the cumulative amount attributed to the bar ($41,000 in this example).

    Hi Blake,

    Have you tried defining High/Low as GroupAggregateColumns? I believe this is what is used to populate the Data Labels.

    This is what I added to my report, for both High and Low, to get them to display their values in the Data Label.

    Cheers,

    Steve
