Choose Data for Labels

I don't think this is possible but I'm going to ask anyway.  

I have turned on Data Labels and by default it displays the "Value" being measured in my Stacked Bar Chart.  Makes sense.  However, I would like it to dispay the number of records.  I don't see anywhere that I can do this, but I am giving it a shot anyway.

If anyone knows if this is possible or has a cool workaround, please let me know.

Hmm...You could use tooltips but not the same effect. Another way would be to use a Column/Line chart and use the count as your Line value perhaps, turning on data labels for your Line and perhaps setting the line color the same as your background?
