Data Label won't show on Line & Clustered Column Chart unless Legend or Column y-axis field is empty

[derekli1700]

First pic shows what my current Line and Clustered Column chart looks like, representing stock levels. 

Normally i would go to Data Labels -> apply series to Annotation Point -> Detail -> Data field to "Annotation Label" and it would show my data labels. However, this seems to only work if my legend or column y-axis field is empty. (as seen below)

Is there a way to fix this? Not sure if this is a dax issue or formatting.

Below is the dax for the "annotation label" referenced in Data Labels:

Annotation Label = 
VAR CurrentLabel = SELECTEDVALUE('Chart Axis'[Label])
RETURN
SWITCH(
    CurrentLabel,
    "April", "Order",
    "August", "Replenish",
    BLANK()
)

When the Legend or Column y-axis is empty, each point on the visual has a single row in filter context, so SELECTEDVALUE on the axis label returns cleanly. The moment you add a Legend, each axis position now has multiple rows in context and SELECTEDVALUE returns BLANK because it can no longer resolve a single value. So I believe you could try using a measure as below if the values are same for every legend:

Annotation Label =
VAR _CurrentLabel =
    MAX ( 'Chart Axis'[Label] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        _CurrentLabel,
        "April",  "Order",
        "August", "Replenish",
        BLANK ()
    )

The value for line chart can't be text. We can only display numbers

However, you can add it in the label details.
