description: Display totals directly on stacked bar charts with configurable positioning and formatting.
---

Data labels show the aggregate total value above each full stack on stacked bar charts. They let users read exact values without cross-referencing the Y axis.

{/* Screenshot: stacked bar chart with total labels visible above each stack, Fields tab open showing Data Labels enabled. Place directly below this heading, full-width. (hidden — replace this comment with <Frame><img src="..." /></Frame> when image is ready) */}

## Enabling data labels

Open the **Fields** tab and enable the **Data Labels** toggle.

## Label settings

| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| **Format** | Number format applied to the label value (e.g. `,.0f` for integers, `$,.2f` for currency) |
| **Font size** | Size of the label text |
| **Position** | Outside end, Inside end, Inside center, or Inside base |
