[
    (
      series: snumber,
      group: gnumber,
      showDataValues: boolean,
   }
]

where:

snumber

Is a zero-based series number. If the series does not exist in the chart, the property is ignored.

gnumber

is an optional zero-based group number. If the group does not exist in the chart, the property is ignored. If a group number is not specified, the property definition is applied to all risers in the series.

boolean

Enables or disables data text labels for individual series or groups when the dataLabels: visible property is true. Valid values are:

  • true, which enables data text labels.
  • false, which disables data text labels. This is the default value.
