Hi JinDR - This isn't currently possible with the native Stacked Column Chart.
The Total label always displays the sum of the stacked segments and cannot be bound to a separate measure (such as SUM(A)/SUM(B)).
If you need the overall calculation shown above the stack, the recommended workaround is to use a Line & Stacked Column Chart with your overall measure on the line series (hiding the line if desired so only the label is visible), or use a custom visual such as Deneb for complete control over the labels.
Hope this helps.
