Annotating Data Points

You can annotate data points in Bar, Line, and Bubble charts.

Context

You can pin a data point and add additional measures or comments to the pinned object. The pinned information is displayed as a Numeric point chart that is linked to the data point.

Note
You can annotate data points on Canvas pages only.

If you filter the data, the annotated chart will not be affected. However, if you add another measure to your chart, you will break the link.

Procedure

  1. In your chart, select a data point.
  2. Right-click and then select Pin Data Point.

    A numeric point chart appears. It is anchored to the data point.

  3. In the numeric point chart, add footer text or other comments.
  4. With the numeric point chart selected, open (Builder) and choose measures to add to the annotation.

    You cannot edit existing measures, but you can add more measures.
