    I have a stacked bar that shows the amount of each bar segment but I cannot label the segment with category that it represents. The only way to identify the segment is with the legend. The color legend is hard to utilize when there are several categories so I want to be able to label the bar segments directly

    Agreed! Please Microsoft, this should be a quick change given the functionality exists on a donut chart already. We need it to use the 'category' to show R, A, or G on the field with the value so colour blind stakeholders can easily read the graphs. An example of my query is shown here:
