    Sure can!

     

    In your chart's visualisation settings, click on the Format tab, expand the settings for Data Labels, then towards the end of that list there is an option for 'Customise Series'

     

    Switch that on, and you'll have additional options to customise the labels for each column (select the series from drop down list).

     

    Note - I'm using the latest (June 2018) update for Power BI, which has new features for label customisation (yay!).  So if you don't see Customise Series in your label options, you just need to download the latest version of Power BI Desktop and reopen your file.

     

     

    Edit to add: This only seems to be available if there are multiple Values in your chart.  If you have one Value that you are segmenting into different columns using a Legend then that presently won't give you additional options for customised labels.
