I have a single stacked bar chart that shows the breakdown of a population's gender. I can display the percentages of the total for each group but how do I also show the category (Male/Female) for each section. I do not want it in the legend but in the bar chart itself with the percentages
@jlworthi can you provide a screen shot of what you trying to do? Have you thought about putting it in the tool tips?
Proud to be a Super User!
Yes I've put it tooltips but I also need it displayed directly on the chart.
Want to Add Male and Female Labels above these numbers
In the stacked bar chart, we cannot set the information to display in your label property. So I am afraid there is no such a function to achieve this requirement. If you are a experienced coder, you could create a custom visual to display similar information in your chart.
