Hi Guys,

I m facing a very strange problem with pie chart.

Sometimes data labels are not shown on the pie chart. I changed the query and it starts showing.

Is there any specific reason for it ??

Thanks

Check the data type of the labels column. It can cause problems if it is not type string.

Hello,

I have the same problem. I have set a string type but still it doesn't work.
Sometime I have data label on pie charts, in others charts I have. I couldn't found out where is the problem.

Have you found out how resolve this problem.

Hi Buffy,

I haven't find solution for this problem.

I think we should share the result dataset..so that we can find any similarities.

Thanks

I was facing the same issue and it became a show stopper for us. I had multiple charts and one of it not showing the labels. I had two columns one title and other count. One title was "Other" and other title "fact". This it will not work, but if I replace "fact" to "title fact", it work. So I concluded may be Spago did not like "f words".

Later I had a title start with "a" and same issue. if I start this with "s" it work. Then I spent half day and found the solution.

The fix is the pie expects the count to be in descending order. In query we need to give "order by COUNT DESC". For my example above title "Other" had high value and other two has less count. So when I change title to "title fact or start with "s" on default ordering on title these two goes below of row with "Other" title, so it work.

Hope this will help others, I will report this bug to Spago support.
