Hey, I am wondering how can I show the value of each bar on the bar itself/above it, such as you can have in Excel:

is this possible?  
thanks

No, this feature is not available in Glide. Glide prefers to keep things mysterious, so you need to hover over it to reveal the value. 😉  
If you want the same and your data source is Excel, you might be able to embed an Excel chart into Glide if it’s available.

An alternative might be using Quickcharts or Chart.js.

Images render instantly and you can select one of 14 different charts, customize colors, styles etc all through URL parameters! The video below shows my first attempt to create a chart from scratch and implement it in Glide. Took me less than 5 minutes.
