Hi, I know youve gotten bombarded here - but the single greatest low-effort high-reward change y'all could make would be allowing data labels to be outside the data (immediately above or below). Currently you can only do base, mid, or top. In finance (my field) pretty much all charts have a second ghost bar with the same numeric value put above any bar chart, for the sole purpose of removing the filled color and putting the data label in the base (i.e. immediately above the real bar).

You would be a hero to thousands and thousands of junior bankers if you made this change lol.
