Hi!

When building dual axis graphs I don't seem to get the labeling very clear to the eye.

Using only one measure to label I use the old work around with adding a reference line. These labels allow a frame around the value.

However I need to use two values, actual and percent difference. I don't find any way to make this look good.

In the bars the color is automatically adapting to the color of the bars, but for the line that is not the case. Fiddling with colors on bars, lines or text is not an option.

HI Per,

You can still add the reference line on the axis of Line chart?

Thanks,
Shin

Thanks Shin!

But as I said. This old workaround only allows me to show one value. I want both the percentage and the actual numbers.

Best regards!

Thanks Amar!

I think what I'm looking for is either the ability to add frames/backgrounds to "Labels", just as you can do to the labels in reference lines.
Or a way to have the text in the data "Labels" to adapt to the background color, like they do by default in a one axis chart.
The issue is that when I add a second axis, the second axis' labels become hard to read when they end up on a bar.

Best regards!

Hi Pelle,

Not an absolute solution, but sometimes helps.

Thanks Shin!

This is the good old "hack per presentation solution". As soon as numbers change, you need to adjust positions.
I think there might bee room for enhancements from developers at Tableau here?

Best regards!
