RE: Add Data Labels automatically to charts and graphs for Q&A

It is a common requirement of all reporting I do to have a % increase or decrease associated with a bar chart. It is not the actual number I would like to be able to report but the % difference from the previous bar on the chart.

This is critical for all visualizations especially since the users may not have easy access to or understanding of underlying data.

I can not seem to show data labels on any slice of a bar chart. "Why is this? All would like to see the amount shown inside or outside of the bar like many other programs. Why is this?

I'd need the ability to add data labels to any visualization, not just Q&A.
