        datatype: "json",
        success : function(jsonData)
        {
        var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
         // Add columns
        data.addColumn('string','categoryName');
        data.addColumn({type: 'number',role: 'interval'});
        var complaintStatus = jsonData[0].complaintStatus;

        for(var i=0;i<complaintStatus.length;i++)
        {
        data.addColumn('number',complaintStatus[i].statusName);
        data.addColumn({type: 'number',role: 'scope'});
        }
        data.addRows(jsonData.length);
        var maxVal=jsonData[0].totalCountComplaint;
        for(i=0;i<jsonData.length;i++)
        {  
// trying to create hyperlink
        data.setCell(i,0,'<a href="next.html">+jsonData[i].categoryName+</a>');
        data.setCell(i,1,jsonData[i].categoryId);
        for(j=0; j< jsonData[i].complaintStatus.length; j++)
        {
        data.setCell(i,parseInt(jsonData[i].complaintStatus[j].statusId)*2, jsonData[i].complaintStatus[j].countComplaint);
        data.setCell(i,parseInt(jsonData[i].complaintStatus[j].statusId)*2+1, jsonData[i].complaintStatus[j].statusId);
        }

        if(jsonData[i].totalCountComplaint>maxVal)
        maxVal=jsonData[i].totalCountComplaint;
        }
        var options = {
        title : fcategoryName+' Complaints Dashboard',
        titleTextStyle : {
        fontName : 'Arial',
        fontSize : 18,
        bold : true,
        },
        isStacked:true,
        chartArea: {width:'50%',height:'75%'},
        bar: {groupWidth: '50%'},
        tooltip : {
        isHtml : true,
        textStyle : {

        },
        hAxis:{
        title:'status values',
        gridlines : {
        count : maxVal+1
           },
        baseline:maxVal,//static
        },
        vAxis:{
        title:'Complaint\'s categories',
        textStyle : {
        fontName : 'sans-serif',

you can use the targetID of the 'click' event to find the label that was clicked

when a y-axis label is clicked, the targetID will hold a value similar to the following...

vAxis#0#label#0

you can use the string method split, to find the label value in the data

selection = e.targetID.split('#');

when the first value = vAxis, this means a y-axis label was clicked

if (selection[0].indexOf('vAxis') > -1) {

the first integer refers to the y-axis, in this example, there is only one

the second integer refers to the row in the data

to get the value clicked...

data.getValue(rowIndex, colIndex);

e.g.

data.getValue(parseInt(selection[selection.length - 1]), parseInt(selection[1])));

see following working snippet...

google.charts.load('current', {
  callback: drawChart,
  packages:['corechart']
});
function drawChart() {
  var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
    ['Element', 'Density', { role: 'style' } ],
    ['Copper', 8.94, '#b87333'],
    ['Silver', 10.49, 'silver'],
    ['Gold', 19.30, 'gold'],
    ['Platinum', 21.45, 'color: #e5e4e2']
  ]);

  var options = {
    title: 'Density of Precious Metals, in g/cm^3',
    width: 600,
    height: 400,
    bar: {groupWidth: '95%'},
    legend: { position: 'none' },
  };

  var chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
  google.visualization.events.addListener(chart, 'click', function(e) {
    var selection;
    if (e.targetID) {
      selection = e.targetID.split('#');
      if (selection[0].indexOf('vAxis') > -1) {
        console.log('label clicked = ' + data.getValue(parseInt(selection[selection.length - 1]), parseInt(selection[1])));
      }
    }
  });
  chart.draw(data, options);
}
