like the title says.

I have done a bar chart for male and female by bar chart -- although it shows the actual number on each bar -- what i need is percentages.

However i AM able to get percentages when using pie charts.

any advise is appreciated

thanks

You are posting in the wrong forum. Try forum149 or forum767 in the future.

In the chart expert->advanced layout->show value->set summary operation->check "show as percentage of: "

-LB
 
Thanks - it helped (next time i will post in the appropriate forum)

One last thing,

how do i get the % symbol in the chart?
I tried chart expert, options, show value - 100% -- but i get a number like 7,596.2% -- instead of something like 76%

thanks
 
when i do a pie chart -- in the Legend section i see a "layout" where i can choose percentage.

BUT when i choose bar chart instead i am not able to see a "layout " and so cannot choose percentages --

but i need to show that the value on the bar chart is a %.

any help is appreciated

thanks
