Have independent controls to include and format data labels when using Line and Column Chart visualizations. This visualization is essential to have data analyses with different value ranges, which means it is likely to have different labeling needs for data expressed in columns than the one used to expressed in lines.

The original request was to format the line and columns separately, which you can do today through the customize series option. Here's a post detailing the feature: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/blog/power-bi-desktop-june-2018-feature-summary/#comboLabels

RE: Independent Data Label Controls in Combo Charts

This has come up over and over so many times in the last year for me. My clients almost always has a target line or two, where they don't want to see the labels. However they do want to see them on the bars which values change daily.

This seems like such a simple enhancement, please include ASAP!

RE: Independent Data Label Controls in Combo Charts

Combined charts are a great feature, but data labels are virtually useless on Combined charts without the ability to control each value group individually.

This is something that is really important to have. Power BI is a great tool, but it's crazy that Excel has more customisable visualisation options than Power BI - a program designed for data visualisation.

RE: Independent Data Label Controls in Combo Charts

It would be great if Microsoft adds this soon. We are facing a lot issues due to this missing feature.

RE: Independent Data Label Controls in Combo Charts

Would really love this to be implemented. Want to use a combo chart to show a dynamic reference line (target) but don't want to have the data labels on the line
