Title: How to show actual value on percentage bar chart
Post by: laks on 02 Aug 2010 05:47:00 PM
I have a requirement to create a percentage bar chart and show value (actual number) on the bar. I am not sure how to show the number on bar. I know Excel can do it, Can someone suggest a way to get this in Cognos Report Studio.

Thanks

I guess its a bug

PM11610: DOC: EXPORTING A STACK 100% CHART TO EXCEL DOESNT DISPLAY THE PERCENTAGES IN THE CHART.

APAR statusOPEN
Error descriptionWhen exporting a stacked 100% bar chart to excel, any version,
the percentage is not displayed.  Rather the underlying values
are displayed.

Third party limitation should be documented in the Report Studio

Producing Reports in Microsoft Excel Format.
