Dears,  
as you see below the label is shown on the line as a circle bullet and everything is fine ,all the credit goes to the friends in our community to help me show the label .

But I have a new challenge that I can not show the label as **Total 2023 month 8: xxxx cases.**  
I put label as **{name}: [bold]{valueY} {valueX}[/] cases**  
but it cannot show month value and show as you see **Total 2023 : xxxx cases.**

How to solve this ?

I presume you are referring to this thread:

> Can anyone see why the date is not appearing in the Tooltip? Reference: [X-Value in XY Chart Bullet Tooltip - #5 by PGriffith](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/x-value-in-xy-chart-bullet-tooltip/29998/5)

I'm guessing that you have the x-axis configured as "category" rather than date or a value. That means you need to use,  
`{name}: [bold]{valueY} {categoryX}[/] cases`

The chart component is based on AM Charts and you can find details on options here:

Tip: use `a pair of backticks` to format your code on the forum. It will then appear like this: `a pair of backticks`. For blocks of code put three ``` at the start of the block and another three at the end - or select the code and press the \</\> button.
