Placing labels on lines in line chart

[#1]

I'm following instructions from Qlikview for Developers Cookbooks on how to replace the legend in a line chart with labels on each line.

Here is the script to load the data:

[Line Chart]:

CrossTable(Country,Sale)

LOAD * Inline [

Date, USA, UK, Japan, Germany

2013-01-01,123,100,80,40

2013-02-01,134,111,75,50

2013-03-01,155,95,70,60

2013-04-01,165,85,88,50

2013-05-01,154,125,90,70

2013-06-01,133,110,75,99

];

The line chart consists of two dimension: Date and Country

I use the following expression:

Dual(

  if(Date = Max(total Date), Country,''),

  Sum(Sale)

)

Here is the screenshot of the chart that I get:

As you can see I'm missing Japan.

If you have a look at the data, the max Sales for japan for the 2nd and 6th of the month is 75, I think this is why it's not showing as a label. If I change one of these dates for 76 then I get all the lables. But in the book, the author has 75 as a max Sales twice and his chart works.

Can anyone suggest why it does not work for me?

Thank you

I believe this technique is sensitive to the available display space. If you make the chart taller, does Japan appear?

no that does't change anything. If I change the number from 75 to 76 then Japan appears at all sizes
