Stacked bar charts already display the value of each section of a bar, but there isn't a way to display the total value of each bar, which would include all the sections.

The total bar feature is very important, please add!

Please add; always requested by consumers of dashboards.

I need this feature for my organization's reporting requirements. This would be a very useful addition.

RE: Display total value of a bar on a stacked bar chart

Come on guys, how is it even possible that we still don't have this? This is absolutely basic and required functionality for ANY executive dashboard. Every time I use stacked bars I always get questions about why I can't show the total...

This is a must have feature for all kinds of executive management dashboards. Don't know why it has been missing in Excel and PowerBI charts for so long. Super weird!

RE: Display total value of a bar on a stacked bar chart

Yes, this is a very important update that is necessary! The workaround of bar graph and line chart does not work for the case of 100% stacked bar graph.

RE: Display total value of a bar on a stacked bar chart

Yes, please! Would be so helpful when using stacked charts to have a total above it, so consumers don't have to do the math (and I don't have to use a workaround to show it!)

RE: Display total value of a bar on a stacked bar chart

This feature is much needed, seems like it would be easy to add.
