Bar Logo Placement

When a Logo is provided in the data, you can display it inside each bar:

  • None — No logo in bars
  • Center — Logo centered in the bar
  • Top — Logo at the top of the bar (right side for horizontal bars)
  • Bottom — Logo at the bottom of the bar (left side for horizontal bars)

The logo is clipped to the bar boundaries and respects the Logo Width and Logo Height settings from the Legend card.


First Items / Last Items

Categories such as None, Other or Not specified rarely belong in the middle of a chart sorted by value. First items and Last items pin the categories you name to the start or the end of the axis, and keep every other bar in its natural order.

Type the labels separated by commas:

Aucun, Autre

Both fields accept several labels, and the order you type them is the order they are displayed in:

SettingValueResult
Last itemsAutre, Aucun…other bars…, Autre, Aucun
Last itemsAucun, Autre…other bars…, Aucun, Autre
First itemsEnsembleEnsemble, …other bars…

Rules

  • Order is preserved — items are placed in the order you list them, not alphabetically.
  • Everything else is untouched — unlisted categories keep the sort applied to the visual (by measure descending, alphabetical, or the model's own sort order).
  • First wins — a label typed in both fields is pinned to the start.
  • Matching ignores case and surrounding spaces, but the label must otherwise match the axis label exactly.
  • Unknown labels are ignored — a typo or a category filtered out of the current page simply has no effect.

Labels containing a comma

The comma is the separator, so a label that contains one must be wrapped in double quotes:

"Aucun, ne se prononce pas", Autre

To include a double quote inside a quoted label, type it twice: "Il dit ""oui""".

Which end is "first"?

Chart typeFirst itemsLast items
Column and Stacked Column (vertical)LeftRight
Bar and Stacked Bar (horizontal)TopBottom
Pinning a whole group

With a multi-level axis, typing a parent group value pins every bar of that group. Pinning is applied before the grouping, so pinned bars leave their original position and move as a block.

Conditional formatting

Both fields support the fx button, so the list of labels can come from a measure returning text instead of being typed by hand — useful when the categories to push to the end depend on the report context.
