Stacked bar chart from data table, formatting of point meta

Question

I've got a data table with multiple y values per x that I have arranged as a stacked bar chart. It seems that pgfplots can calculate percentages from absolute values, but I calculated the percentages myself anyway for the time being. I've already abstracted from here regarding point meta=explicit, but I can't get rid of the "0" values and I'd also like the x values to be shown in the center of their bar.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \pgfplotstableread{
        Label   A       B       C       Aabs    Babs    Cabs
        data1   0.70    0.00    0.30    7       0       3
        data2   0.33    0.67    0.00    6       12      0
        data3   0.75    0.00    0.25    3       0       1
        data4   0.50    0.25    0.25    4       2       2
    }\dt
\begin{axis}[
        hide x axis,
        nodes near coords,
        xbar stacked,
        xmin=0,
        y dir=reverse,
        ytick=data,
        yticklabels from table={\dt}{Label},
    ]

    \addplot [
        fill=red!25,
        point meta=explicit,
    ] table [
        x=A,
        y expr=\coordindex,
        meta=Aabs,
    ] {\dt};

    \addplot [
        fill=green!25,
        point meta=explicit,
    ] table [
        x=B,
        y expr=\coordindex,
        meta=Babs,
    ] {\dt};

    \addplot [
        fill=blue!25,
        point meta=explicit,
    ] table [
        x=C,
        y expr=\coordindex,
        meta=Cabs,
    ] {\dt};
\end{axis}

What you want is the default behaviour for stacked plots. You need to specify the xbar stacked option before the nodes near coords option like this:

\documentclass[tikz, border=1cm]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\pgfplotstableread{
Label   A       B       C       Aabs    Babs    Cabs
data1   0.70    0.00    0.30    7       0       3
data2   0.33    0.67    0.00    6       12      0
data3   0.75    0.00    0.25    3       0       1
data4   0.50    0.25    0.25    4       2       2
}\dt
\begin{axis}[
xbar stacked, nodes near coords,
hide x axis,
xmin=0,
y dir=reverse,
ytick=data,
yticklabels from table={\dt}{Label},
point meta=explicit,
]
\addplot[fill=red!25] table[x=A, y expr=\coordindex, meta=Aabs] {\dt};
\addplot[fill=green!25] table[x=B, y expr=\coordindex, meta=Babs] {\dt};
\addplot[fill=blue!25] table[x=C, y expr=\coordindex, meta=Cabs] {\dt};
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
