We need to be able to label specific data points with dynamically generated values (including text). Use cases include:
* Labeling the first or last point of line charts with values
* Labeling the last point of series in a line chart with the series name, to directly inform the user which series is which, rather than have them constantly move their eyes between a legend and the many series on a graph.
* Labeling particular values of interest, to aid storytelling.
These things are bulk-standard features of good dashboard design, and are essential in order to design optimal user-friendly dashboards with low cognitive burden.
Gotta say that humble ol' Excel is streets ahead of Power BI in regards to data labeling.
Note that measure-driven tooltips are NOT a substitute for this feature. We need ways to draw the users' attention to particular points or features without relying on mouse-over.

Change label density so that when put to 1%, only the last value has a data label.
As it stand now, it's quite tedious to set up a linegraph to only show the data label for the latest datapoint. I thought It could a nice idea to have this included with the "Label density" option provided, where setting its value to 1% will achieve this.

I have a scatter plot with many nodes grouped in an area that I want to ignore, for the remaining nodes that are spread about I want to see their labels. It would be great to have some conditional formatting that could use a field in the data to control the visibility of the label. For line grap...

First & Last data label only option available
Easier option to add the last data label and/or the first data label from a graph. At this moment there is no easy option available instead I need to use space to have the visualization card boxes for each of the 4 lines in the graph. I would like that Power Bi would have easier options to only s...

Display name of each series in line with its first and last values
Ribbon charts with many series would be easier to interpret if the name of each series was displayed on either end of the ribbon. It would be nice to have the option of displaying the start and finish rank as well in this label e.g. if the "rabbit" series changed in rank from 5 to 4 I would like ...

display only last label in line chart
currently, when selecting data labels in line chart, there is no option to show the latest value only. we need this. tableau does exactly this (https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/annotations_marklabels_showhideworksheet.html)
