Hi,

Option 1:

You can use a text object and place it on the chart. Use option Layer option under Layout with top = 1 and make transparency color = 100%

Option 2:

Use a "Text in chart option" under presentation tab of the chart. You can customize it according to your wish.

I would recommend you to use option 2, its easy and straight forward.

Thanks,

KC

Hey Hi,

You can add as many texts you want. Press Control + Shift and move the box wherever you want.

Hi Yayat, use DUAL function to read the comment from database, duplicate your expression, enable data points for the dual expression  and set same color... see image below you can see the expression definition in the legend, let me know if questions. (TEST is my field name where I inserted comments "Oscar" and "Márquez")

Hi Mr. Oscar,

as I understand, it will work when the comment rule in max/min condition,

back to my case, in example there are plan and actual budget,

the acceptable condition are :

1. Plan=Actual

2. Plan>Actual, because of some efficiency activity (must put some comment)

the in-acceptable condition are:

1. Plan<Actual, means over budget (must put some comment)

2. Plan>Actual, means some budget not use, may be several project is pending/delay (must put the comment)

if so, we can said the comment rule are random depend on graph creator.

Please advice me,

Thank you
