Column label for stacked column chart
I would like to have the column names for the X-axis be on top of the columns instead of below the axis for easier identification.

Is there any way to do this in power BI?
Many Thanks.

Hi,
For the selected visual go to the format visual under Visualizations. Under that, select position inside data label. There you can choose the option of Outside end in position. Now your value will be displaying as per your requirement.
PS: please select this as answer if your requirement is met
