Using expression label on chart axis when no Dimension

I have a bar chart with no dimension (as shown below).  I would like to be able to use the expression labels on the axis of my bar chart instead of showing them in the legend.  Can I?

Thanks Marcus.  That worked but the label and the value both sat to the right of the bar.

I managed to resolve this without the dual expression.  I found that when I switched off the legend the expression label automatically acted as a dimension label as shown below -

You could use a dual-expression like:

dual('YourExpressionLabel - ' & num(YourExpression, '##,0%'), YourExpression)

Thanks Marcus.  I replaced my expression with the dual-expression but nothing happened.

Go to the number tab and change the setting to expression-standard.

I think you will need to use a synthetic dimension or island table as dimension and single expression to achieve this. With only expressions, you won't be able to achieve what you are looking for

Do you mind sharing the settings that allowed you to do this or is this the default?
