I am trying to have the total of the stack bar displayed on top. It works when I have a value for all of the elements. When a field is either missing or has an 0 (zero) the total is displayed on the bottom of the bar like it is a negative. I am setting the datastaacktotalontop to true.

I'm seeing this behavior in 8105 as well. I think in the case of Stacked bars, putting the label above the bar might get confusing for the bottom segments. So, the code for Above and and Below Top Edge generates the same label inside the segment.

The good news is I tested the same thing in 8.2 and it suppresses the label when the value is missing or 0.

Hey David, can you post your code (using the CAR file)?

I don't think I am seeing the 'zero stack total label' looking like it is negative.

Question on stacked graph and stacktotal. Is it possible to change the formula from Adding to subtracting for the display?
newdollars - newbudget?
