Power BI total labels not working when only one option in stacked bar chart

[rbrocks]

When total labels are turned on, the labels do not show when data is sliced to an option that has only one legend category. 

See here, the data is sliced and there are multiple legend values. The total labels work.

Here in the same chart, the data is sliced and there is only one legend value. The total labels disappear. 

We don't want to enable regular data labels, only the total. Is this intended functionality? Or is this a bug? Seems like if I choose total labels on they should always work by default.

Hi @rbrocks 

I have a doubt , the visual you provided is a stacked column chart not a stacked bar chart . So the visua in question is stacked column chart ?I have tested that legend can only put one field , so how did you put multiple values into the legend? Can you provide your visual settings?

This functions as described by OP.

Data as follows:

Settings as follows.

Total labels shows when multiple datapoints exist.

Slicing on one datapoint and total labels no longer show.

This needs to be fixed.  Total Labels should always show the total value regardless if we are filtering to just one category. This is clearly a bug.  Please fix.

this is still broken. When you use a stacked column chart and then filter it to one of the categories in the column chart the total data labels dissapear and you see the filtered bars without a data label. This issue still exists and needs to be fixed.

This is ridiculous that Microsoft has not fixed this problem.

We have 64bit PBI Desktop April 2024 version.  The total lables show in stacked column chart, but when cross-filter is used by clicking on another visual, the bars adjust based on the filter, but the Total lable stays the same with overall count with no filter !  It doesn't "total" the values that are actually filtered.
