    Hi Jack, 

    I found a solution using a workaround.

     

    The data label changes following my time selection. 

    I did this by creating two additional data points in the cube view feeding this chart. These data points get the data according to the time selector, and the month from the time selector. 

    In the chart, I added two additional series that get their data from the two additional data points. Everything but the data label is hidden. This creates the effect of only showing the data labels for the selected time.

    Thanks for your help.

I don't have a solution right now, but I can suggest a possible source of information about  advanced features of the Report component. If you go to the Marketplace and select the Platform section, then change the platform version to 7.0, you can download a version of the On-Prem Server & Documentation package that still includes guides for the old Reporting Studio - the direct predecessor of that component. It contains a lot of information that is still valid (and not available anywhere else) for the Report Component.
