Default Can I make Column Chart use percent and show value

Hi,

Lay your data out like this

A1: =<Leave Empty
B1: =My Data
A2: =50
B2: =A2/$A$2
A3: =25
B3: =A3/$A$2

Format B2:B3 as percents.

Select the range A1:B3 and create a stacked column chart plotted by Rows.
Your stacked columns should now be a 100% and 150%.
Apply Data labels to the chart using the Series option. This will display
the 50 and 25 in the columns.

Cheers
Andy

Hi,
I need to make the Stacked column chart use % but show the actual value in
the count. I tried the !00% Stacked Column. But as it says, it shows the 2
values as 100% but what I want to show is one value as 100% and the other
as
over 100%. Then I want to show the actual value in the column (not as a
percent).

Ie 2 values are 50 and 25. The 50 would be the 100% and inside that column
would be the value 50. The 25 would be stacked on top of the 50 and be at
150% with the value of 25 inside its column.

Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks in advanced for any help!
