I want to prepare a multi year stacked bar chart with different product lines to show how revenue growth derives from different product lines.
But I want to put a data label on each chart element NOT showing revenue but average price (or both).
The attached is a standard stacked bar chart but I would rather have another data set inside the label, say $5 or $6 rather $100 for revenue.

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
first you add the datalabels and afterwards you change the datalabels so that they don't show the values but the value of a range. That can be a text or in this case your average price.

BSALV gave the right answer, but I like seeing answers written out, rather than having to view a video.

The steps are easy: add data labels to the points, select a set of labels, and click Ctrl+1 to format the labels. In the task pane, check the Value from Cells option. A small dialog pops up, allowing you to select the range that contains your custom labels.
