Bosses are like that. I almost said in my first response that you should
explain to your boss how it works.

charts are really not a very good design for a useful chart. You could
try a
clustered column chart or maybe a stacked column, depending on what the
data
is and what exactly you're trying to show.

I need to make a pie chart that has one part of the pie as a negative
percentage. Does anyone know how to get my chart to recognize this
negative
number?
