Displaying and Formatting Data Labels

It is often convenient to display the numeric values for each data point on a graph. For example, you may want to see individual numeric values along the lines in your Line graph or the bars within your Bar graph.

If you choose to display data labels, you can also format them manually or allow the system to apply an automatic format style.

To Display Data Labels on a Graph Report

  1. Open a report in Graph View.
  2. Choose Graph > Display > Data Label.

    The data labels and axes numbers are automatically formatted based on the formatting of the metrics in Grid View, as long as all metrics are formatted in the same manner. To apply different numeric formatting to the data labels, see Formatting Numeric Values on a Graph.

    You can also manually format the data labels and axes and numbers by following the steps below.
