Custom Data Labels in Power BI

Data Labels are one of the critical components of any Power BI visual. It allows users to understand the visuals easily. With the help of Custom Data Labels, users can see a particular data point and trends.

 

In this blog, we will see how to add custom Data Labels in bar and column charts.

 

Step 1: Select the chart where you want to add custom data labels.

 

Step 2: Go to Formatting > Data Labels > Values > Enable Custom Label.

You can add any measure or values to the Custom label. It accepts only one field, so you cannot add multiple fields. In case you want to show multiple fields, then you can create a measure to concatenate them first and then use it.

 

You can also format the label as per the requirement.

  In this guide, we’ll cover how to bring task data from Microsoft Planner into Power BI for analysis, using Power Automate and SharePoint as intermediaries.

Power BI offers two primary methods for combining tables: Append and Merge . While both are used to consolidate data from multiple sources, they work in different ways and are suited for different scenarios.
