Urgent Improvements Needed for Chart View
M
Martin Lis
I am writing to request some urgent improvements to the Chart View functionality. The following features are essential for my workflow and would greatly enhance usability:
Sorting Grouped Data:
I need the ability to sort grouped data. For example, I should be able to group total sales by month and then sort by month, or by quarter, etc. This feature is crucial for accurate data analysis and presentation.
Displaying Values on Bar Charts:
It is essential to have the values of each bar displayed directly on the bar chart. Currently, I have to hover over each bar with the mouse to see the values. This is inefficient, especially when I need to create screenshots for clients. Having the values visible on the bars themselves would streamline this process and improve the clarity of the charts.
I believe these enhancements would significantly improve the functionality and user experience of the Chart View. Thank you for considering these requests.

Display Values as Data Labels on Charts

In dashboards, I can add charts but it only shows the % totals for the items. I would like to show the count of each grouping of item as a data label. For example if a chart is split to count the number of actions by status then I'd like to show the count value not the related percentage

Hiya Martin Lis, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- Could you provide more details on how you would like the sorting of grouped data to work? For example, would you like to sort ascending or descending, or both?
- For the bar chart values, would you prefer them to be inside the bars, above the bars, or in a specific location?
- Are there any other chart types or functionalities that you frequently use and would like to see improved?
