Title: Percentage Charts
Post by: Ann on 21 Jun 2013 05:23:12 AM
I have a chart which has to plot on Numbers. Sales for each Month stacked on region.

Now I want to see the percentage on the bars. instead of numbers.

Any Clue Please help.

have you tried formatting as percentage?

If I change the data format, the numbers get converted to %. like if my value was 1000, that gets converted to % (100000)

then create a new data item with the calculation measure/100 and use that one in your chart as text source and format it as percent. I'm not in front of report studio now but that's how i would try

Isn't this just a case of switching from a Stacked Bar chart to a 100% Stacked Bar chart? Or am I missing something (which is quite normal for me!) :)

Cheers!

MF.
