Can I programatically change the data labels in a Modern Chart?

Question

Is there a way to change the Data Label in a Modern Chart so that it displays the names of the groups on the X axis instead of the value of the data point (shows when you click the box "Display Data Label."

Are the individual data points named somehow?  Which event below signals a reload of the chart?

There is a screen shot at the bottom of this message that may make what I'm asking a little clearer.

This is what I would like to do. The values that are normally along the X (category) axis are, instead, next to the data points.

 

This is what the graph looks like currently.  Note that the data is not the same in both graphs.

Hi LaurelS.

Thank you for posting in this community and I am sorry for this inconvenience caused to you.

According to my research, I am sorry that I don’t find any out of box ways to do this. So, I am afraid there is not an option to programatically change the data labels in a Modern Chart.

I understand the inconvenience caused to you. So, to address your concerns, I would suggest you send feedback via the Feedback ·Community (microsoft.com) . Since it is the quickest route to get your comments to the related programming developers’ears. They read customer feedback daily.
