Show SUM Value above Stacked bar with Apache poi

Question

I'm currently working on functionality, that is supposed to generate stacked chart inside .pptx file.

For this I'm using code from here: java create a chart in a powerpoint using APACHE POI

I did some modifications. Mainly I set grouping to Stacked and overlap to 100 (so the subBars looks like one bigger bar).

Now I need to display SUM of subBars values above each Bar. Aaaaand here comes my question. How can I achieve this (second pohoto below) using Apache Poi and openxmlformats.schemas.drawingml.x2006.chart?

One idea was to create another SubBar on top, make it transparent and set it's label to my desired SUM, but I cannot find a way, to set label (only Value and in this case, my transparent SubBar takes too much space and it just looks terrible - as in the photo below).

This is what I need it to look like:

I cannot find any documentation or anything apart from some threads here on StackOverflow. Do you guys have some idea, on how to achieve this?

EDIT 1

With help from Alex I was able to print SUM values above BARs. Now I just need to get rid of these 0 values:

EDIT 2

There was a problem mentioned by Axel, that caused zeroes to be displayed (from EDIT 1). Axel edited the code in his answer, so now zeroes are gone.

How would you do that using PowerPoint? The only way I see is using a combination of stacked bar chart with line chart where the line chart displays the sum values and is set invisible. So only the data labels of the line chart are visible. The way as described in How to add total labels to stacked column chart in Excel?.

Using current apache poi 4.1.2 this can be achieved using the new XDDF stuff. For a Excel chart, I have shown that in How to generate editable Stacked-bar-chart using apache poi 4.0.1 and java?.

I will show a complete example for a PowerPoint chart as well:

Thank you!! This is exactly what I was lookin for. Originally I was using CT.. objects, but this code seems to be much more user friendly, so I'll go with these. — Jake_3H, Jul 04 '20 at 08:14
One more question. How can I not display bar label, when it's value is 0? With CT object I was able to skip it(theoretically), but here it sets the whole series at once from array. Can I delete it afterwards or somehow set each subBar individually to series? — Jake_3H, Jul 05 '20 at 10:24
I tried your example and it shows 0 there. U sure it works with your example? Maybe we have different version of some lib or something, but i got Apache POI 4.1.2. — Jake_3H, Jul 05 '20 at 13:48
@AxelRitcher: I've updated the post, please check the last picture. — Jake_3H, Jul 05 '20 at 14:23
@AxelRitcher: I'm using Microsoft 365 for business Version 2005 (Build 12827.20336). Can you please upload the .pptx file so I can try to open it? To see if it really is an issue with PowerPoint. — Jake_3H, Jul 05 '20 at 14:44
@Jake_3H: Well I found the problem. `Office 365` needs setting show percent and show bubble-size to `false` explicitly. Else number format is not applied. See changed code in my answer. What a crap. — Axel Richter, Jul 05 '20 at 16:44
That was it! Makes no sense to me, why the formatting was ignored because of this, but, thank you. You've been a great help! ^_^ — Jake_3H, Jul 05 '20 at 22:09
