Data labels don't appear on bar chart with custom label and small multiples

[JR_CO42]

I have a 100% Stacked bar chart with small multiples of 1 row and 4 columns. When I try to use a custom label for the data label, they do not appear with small multiples on, but do appear without small multples. 

vs.

Is there a way to force the labels to appear here with small multiples?

Hi @JR_CO42 
It seems like some bug, you can report it as an issue here:

As an alternative just use measures like those me.

It comes with a "legend" automatically.

Thanks for your detailed reply and examples. I replicated what you produced in the sample file and found that the data labels only occur when a legend is present. Even with resizing and adjusting every combination of settings, the labels refuse to appear when there is both small multiples and a legend. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Hi @JR_CO42 
The option of customized lable is available on small multiples.

In your specific case, you don't see them because of a lack of place (there are not enough pixels)
You need to make the graph larger and/or the font of the lable smaller.

Unfortunately, I am out of the limit of images that I can add to discussions,
