Hi,

I'm using MS Excel 2016 and trying to format data label position to be on top of the bar chart.  However, I can't seem to find the 'Label Position' section.

    Hello, 

    when you add labels with the + button next to the chart, you can set the label position. 

    In a stacked column chart the options look like this:

    For a clustered column chart, there is an additional option for "Outside End"

    When you select the labels and open the formatting pane, the label position  is in the series format section.

    Does that help?

    Don't use 3D charts. They should be banned. They make things harder to see instead of easier.

    If the above helped you please mark my post above (not this one) as the answer, so others can find it more easily.
