The trick is easy: put it inside the Label.
This is how the last variance is calculated:
Here are a couple variants of implementation:
- Custom Number formatting ;●;
Select red color for the font in the Label. If you want to use arrow to be the indicator, try this.
The above is equivalent to a calculated field as follows [Last Delta Indicator]
- If [Last Delta]<0 then "●" end
There is a little issue of alignment if you want it to be perfectly on the data mark. We found a few ways to approximate the perfect alignment:
- Select middle and center alignment for the label.
- Use vertical font directions
- Adjust the axis scale so that the end point is not at the lower edge of the axis.
That's it. Hope it works for you.

Nice one. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't the furniture and office supply in Consumer show a red dot? Compute using not set right?
ReplyDeleteRed dot appears only where there is a downward trend. The two you mentioned are going up.
Deleteany update on this? I also need to highlight points on line chart without a dual axis.why dont we see dots in upward trend? and also if i didnt want to calculate variance but just highlight the last dot and edit the calculation as IF LAST()=0 THEN
ReplyDeleteSUM([Sales])

the red dots disappear
Just updated the viz with both up and down indicators. Download the example to see the details.
DeleteIf you want to show the sales number in label, it may not place the dot in the right position. So it may disappear, I guess. Use another table to show the last sales number and place it next to the line chart in dashboard. It may be a simple solution.
