Data Labels

Data Labels

Data labels refer to the text, values, or a combination of both, that appear on a chart. For example, a data label on a Column chart gives you information about the variable plotted on the Y-axis corresponding to that column.

By default, the data labels are not visible. Click the toggle button () to make the Data Labels visible.



The table given below describes different fields present on Data Label formatting.

Field

Description

Remark

Text

It allows you to change the appearance of the data label text.

  • You can change the text font, its size, and color.
  • You can make the text bold, italic, and underline it.

Decimal Places

It allows you to select the number of decimal places up to which you want any variable value to be displayed.

By default, the calculated value is displayed in the data label. This value can be up to any number of decimal places.

Display Unit

It allows you to select the multiples of units in which the variable is measured.

You can select any of the following units

  • Default
  • None
  • Thousand
  • Millions
  • Billions
  • Trillions 

Default indicates that the unit is assigned automatically by parsing the range of the data. That is, Thousands/Millions/Billions/Trillions is automatically assigned based on the data.
None represents that no unit is set for the variable.


To use Data Labels formatting options, first plot a Column Chart using the dimensions and measures from the dataset. For example, we plot a Column Chart of the Count of Cards against Gender. The Ethnicity of the sample is the Legend dimension.

The figure given below shows an original image of the Column Chart. By default,

  • The font type is Montserrat, the font size is 14, and the default color is used.
  • The decimal places and the display unit are auto-selected.



Now,

  • Change the data label text font type, font size, and, font color.
  • Change the number of decimal places up to which you want to display the values.
  • Change the display unit of the value in the data label. In the chart below, we select the display unit as 'Thousand'. The original data values remain the same, however, now they are converted in terms of thousand. For example, a value of 50 will become 0.05K.

The resultant widget is shown below.
