Chart Label

Version

Application Scenario

To display the corresponding values on a chart component, you can set labels.

Function Description

When you create a chart component, you can click Label in Graphic Property to set a label for the chart component.

You can drag dimension/indicator fields into Label to display labels on a chart.

Note:

If the calculation indicator is generated by an aggregation function, the dimension field dragged into Label will participate in the calculation.

Setting Item	Description
Display Label	Function for you to determine whether to display labels.
Content Format	Content format. You can customize the display content and font style of labels. Note: When customizing labels, you need to select the text in the text box before performing settings.
Label Location	Label location, which can be set to Center, Inner, or Outer.
Label Display	Lable to be displayed, which can be set to All (all values) or Max/Min (maximum and minimum values  within the group).
Label Display Method	Label display method, which can be set to: 1. Allow Label Overlap 2. Hide Overlapped Labels Upon Label Overlap 3. Automatically Adjust Location Upon Label Overlap
	In the 5.1.12 version, the label overlap logic is optimized. After you re-locate one (originally on the top/left/right) of multiple overlapped labels to avoid overlap, the  label will be still on the top/left/right relatively. Note: 1. The label overlap logic optimized in the 5.1.12 version does not apply to bubble charts, pie charts, multi-level pie charts, funnel charts, and rectangular tree charts. 2. In the 5.1.12 version, the label location may not match the setting configured in  Label Location (Inner/Outer) after the label is re-located to avoid overlap. 3. When you adjust multiple indicators together, the label adjustment methods are applied in the  following order: Allow Label Overlap, Automatically Adjust Location Upon Label  Overlap, and Hide Overlapped Labels Upon Label Overlap.

You can drag dimension/indicator fields into Label to display labels on a chart.

This section takes a column chart as an example to introduce the label use.

1. Drag the field Contract Amount into Label. (The contract amount values are displayed on the column chart.)

2. Click Label and click the  button in the lower right corner of Content Format.

Setting Label Font Styles

Select the label field and set its font, font size, and color.

Note:

You can only add fields already dragged into Label by clicking the  icon in the upper right corner of the following figure.

The following figure shows the effect.

Re-Locating Labels

You can set Label Location to Center/Inner/Outer.

Re-Locating Multiple Labels Vertically

1. Drag the field Contract Type into Label.

2. Click Label and click the  button in the bottom right corner of Content Format.

3. Display the contract types above the contract amount values.

The following figure shows the effect.

Adjusting the Display Method Upon the Label Overlap

Label overlaps affect the visual effect.

When labels are overlapped, you have two solutions: Hide Overlapped Labels Upon Label Overlap and Automatically Adjust Location Upon Label Overlap. You can select the solution based on the actual condition.

Displaying Labels for Multiple Indicators Separately

Note:

This section takes two indicator fields as an example. Methods of displaying labels for more indicator fields separately follow the same approach.

1. Drag the field Number into Vertical Axis.

2. Drag the field Product into Label under Graphic Property > Product.

Note:

If graphic properties are set in All, the settings will apply to all indicator fields.

3. Drag the field Number into Label under Graphic Property > Number.

Displaying Summary Data in Labels of a Stacked Chart

This section is based on the example in the document Stacked Column Chart to achieve the effect of summary data display in labels.

1. Add a calculation field by entering the formula: SUM_AGG(Indicator 1+Indicator 2+Indicator 3+...). For details about SUM_AGG, see SUM_AGG.

Note:

Indicator fields in the formula are generated by clicking the corresponding fields on the left side of the following figure.

2. Drag the calculation field into Label under Graphic Property > Search Engine.

Note:

To display labels above each column in the chart and top each column with the part corresponding to the field Search Engine, you need to drag the calculation field into Label under Graphic Property > Search Engine. You can set the label based on the actual condition.
