Display Category in Stacked Bar Chart

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?





If I took the time to answer your question and I came up with a solution, please mark my post as a solution and /or give kudos freely for the effort 🙂 Thank you!

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

@jlworthi,

 

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.
