How to put only one value label in graph, if labels are repeated.

HSS — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 11:11:19 GMT

Hello,

I have a data set and I want to label my graph with respect to vales in a column. But the labelled column has repeated entries, is there any way to pick only first/last value of the label or any single unique value ?

In my attached data, I want to plot 'LOC_X', 'LOC_Y' and want to Label it with 'Area Code'. But in this data, there are 5 same values of 'Area Code' for 5 different sets of X, Y. And this creates a mess! Not sure if there is any solution for it.

In the alternate way, I have 'map boundaries' map installed but I do not know how to put 'Area Code' in it and if I use label option, I am ending up at the same place.

Any help here ?

I'm not too familiar with this sort of coordinated data, but maybe you could calculate some sort of value based on LOC_X and LOC_Y and Area Code:

If(
	:LOC_X + :LOC_Y == Col Max(:LOC_X + :LOC_Y, :Area Code), :Area Code,
	Empty(), .
)

Select Missing values based on this and unlabel them

Dear @HSS ,

you can label the first value, and unlabel the others by the attached script.

For Each Row(
	Row State( Row() ) = If( Col Rank( :Area Code, :Area Code ) == 1,
		Labeled State( 1 ),
		Labeled State( 0 )
	)
);

Hi Jthi,

Thanks for for the reply. Yes, this is one solution. And I am also doing along this line only.

Many thanks again for your response.

Thanks George.
I guess this is better/right way of doing it.

Thanks again for help.
