Chart controls: place labels on columns with columns with columns

Question

I am creating a column graph for columns, but currently I am limited by the lack of label positioning for each series. There are no custom properties that are related to alignment of label positioning, is there any other way to move labels or align them for stacked diagrams?

Answer 1

By creating a dummy series and manually setting each label value, you can move the column label labels to the top or bottom of the stack. It is limited and, of course, not what I would like, but it is the best that I have found so far.

While the control used is different, the best example of the concept I found is given here: the total value of each column in the column stack
