Display different field in label than chart value

I'd like to be able to create a stacked bar chart where the "size" of each segment on the bar is determined by the count of one field, and labeled with another value.

 

For instance, Product A, B, and C are different colors on the bar.  The size of each is number of products sold.  The data label would be something like profit margin.

 

Possible?

Hey @mateoc15 ,

 

not sure if you are looking for this, but you can rename a column in the context of a visual, without changing the name of the column itn the data model. Just hit mark the visual, and open the context menu of the column you want to rename:

Select Rename from the context menu:

Hopefully, this is what you are looking for.

@mateoc15 unfortunately you cannot custom data label but you can surely add other value as a tooltip, so it will show up on when users hover over the bar.
