Title: How to Show Data Labels in New Charts (v11.0.10)
Post by: EZodeiko on 28 Nov 2018 02:36:15 PM
Hello Everyone,

We are working with Clustered Column visualization in Report Studio.  We would like to show the values at the end of each bar.  After reading IBM's directions, we went to the Properties of the chart (Clustered Column Properties) and set "YES" to all of the SHOW LABELS options and still, no data labels. 

If we use a legacy chart, we can show data labels, no problem.  This seems to be a bug but wanted to ask.

Any and all advice and help is appreciated!
Thank you everyone,
Liz

Hi,

I haven't found a way to display values on the 11.0 visualizations. You can show them in the new 11.1 visualizations, but that probably doesn't help you as you're probably not using 11.1 yet. The only solution I can suggest is to go back to using the Cognos 10 AVS charts (legacy charts), and style them to look like they are 11.0 visualizations. Here's a recent post where I detailed how to do this:

Cheers!

Yes,
that is exactly what I had to do in the past. Can't wait to get 11.1
