100% Stacked Column Chart only shows data labels in %. Please, enable more options (None, Millions, billions, thousands, etc.) for data labels.

Sometimes we want to compare the amounts on each column, but not compare each column using the 100% Stacked Column Chart. It limits us by allowing only data labels in percentage.

This

The legends and different colors in a 100% stacked column chart already allow very intuitive comparison of percentages. Displaying data label as percentages is repeated information and a waste of space.

Allowing options same as those for Bar Chart/Pie Chart will help. I would like to display values instead of percent in 100% Stacked Column Chart. I cannot use normal Stacked Column Chart as I do not want to compare 2 columns.

This should be an option in PowerBI

This is an option in excel charts. I expect from PowerBI at least same features I'm using in excel since long time ago.

basically labels from other columns instead of from the data used column
