Stacked bar chart - legend instead of data labels

Hi! To Power BI users. Have anyone of you seen a custom visual - stacked bar (or column) chart where it's possible to use legend instead of data labels? I.e on the attached example - instead of numbers within the columns for the specific categories - I would like to have "C" displayed in the red area, "B" in the black etc. Any workaround? Anything could be changed in the code maybe?Example.PNG Thanks!

@Jolcyna unfortunately that is not possible today You can add these values as tooltip which can be shown on hover over but not a custom data label. May be you want to add this as an idea on ideas forum or vote for an existing idea. Good question though.

Hi @Jolcyna 

This feature is not supported currently. When your mouse hover over the bar, it will show it automatically. By the way, you also could submit this in power-bi-ideas
