Graph Types | PopChart Server Reference 4.0.5 |
Data labels on a pareto graph work just like data labels fro any other graph (...). However, since the bars typically indicate a different type of value (e.g. dollars) than the line (percentage), you need to "trick" your appearance file into displaying a different symbol for the data labels along the line.
For example, suppose you set your data label format to $%_VALUE. A data label along the bar would look much like you would expect it to (e.g. $43,000). However, a data label along the line would unfortunately also include the dollar sign. So, wehereas you would want the data label along the line to be labelled as a percentage (e.g. 43%), it would instead use the same data label format as the bar (e.g. $43). This, of course, is probably not what you want to happen.
To work around this problem, first set your global data label string (select Graph Properties > Data Labels in PopChart Builder) to the format that you want data labels along the line to use (e.g. %_VALUE%). Next, use the series data label override (select Series Properties > Data Leabels in PopChart Builder) to change the data label format of the bars (e.g. $%_VALUE). This should give you the correct data label format both for the pareto line and bars.
