Thumbs up Answer: Data label above columns??

Hi K,

Yes, it is possible to have the data labels appear just above each column in your stacked column chart. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Select the chart and click on the "Layout" tab in the ribbon.
  2. Click on "Data Labels" and then select "More Data Label Options".
  3. In the "Format Data Labels" dialog box, select the "Label Position" tab.
  4. Choose "Above" from the list of options.
  5. You can also adjust the "Label Options" to show the series name, category name, or value.
  6. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

This should move all the data labels to appear just above each column in your stacked column chart. You won't have to move each label manually anymore, which should save you a lot of time.
