Hello all!

I would like to know if it´s possible to configure XY charts to have text within the bars as shown in the following example:

Create another dataset driven off the first where the value for each point is divided by 2, or add a new column to the existing dataset that holds the half value. From there, use that new dataset/column to drive a line type series with an invisible line and bullets with labels enabled. Configure the labels to show the original value.

Thanks Ryan, seem like a good idea!

I used two series from the same dataset, one render bar and one render line.

Now I just need to play with the bullet position.
