Total labels is a cool and useful feature allowing to reduce clutter and focus users attention on key data.

However, for some reason, it is not supported for stacked charts in small multiples where it is needed even more then in a single chart.


According to the help article on small multiples the feature is "disabled for now", which indicates that Microsoft folks are working on it.


Let's vote for it so it gets done faster! :)

The "workaround" with using a stacked bar chart with line chart does not work for me either, because I need the stacked bar chart to show absolute numbers and the line chart to be in %.

RE: Enable Total labels for stacked charts in small multiples

Hoping that MS can implement/enable the "Total Labels" for small multiples soon. The workaround to create a line showing the "Total" measure and format the line's data label above the line and hide them is not good enough for me because sometimes the labels for the line are sitting in front of the top item in the stack instead of above it.
