Analysis Workspace: Data values shown in graphs

Analysis workspace does a great job showing you the value of a bar or a line data point when you hover over them.  However when you export the project to a PDF, that information gets lost to the scale on the side of the graph.

it would be great if we could display the data points on top of the bars or next to the link data points.  having the option to display all data points or just the min/max so the user's don't have to hover them and so they get printed to the PDF would be enourmously helpful as we (analyst) tend to share information via email and slack in a more informal situations.

these labels should change based on the scale so if I want to display % vs numbers, I just need to change the scale of my graph and the data labels will update automatically

Hi @tsabin03 

 

Since 2018 this feature is considered to be for the next release according to

 

Also @jen_lasser, put it to investigation in 2020, why did you put it back to a new status in 2022? Adding min and max is not related to this feature. This just rolled back the progress of this feature back to 2018.

You can see how many users (according to the comments) are waiting for this feature to be released and these are just web analysts. Almost at every meeting with the management we are asked about this feature - this is what the client wants to see.

 

Could you please reconsider the priority as it's discussed since 5 years now?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I'll prioritize the investigation of this request, but it will remain on our backlog for the time being.

@tsabin03 I also think that it is a very important thing without which an uploading a report to PDF doesn't make sense.

Why such logical thing is still in backlog?

Exactly! It's very important. It's very inconvenient to look at graphs having no any numbers and labels. In order to find out any number you need to point out with your mouse to a bar or a line. Please add labels and numbers to graphs.

Yes, my like's here as well. This very basic functionality that other BI systems have had for a long time would save so much time during data analysis in the dashboards.
