Default Bar Charts that I don't want labeled within the chart

Deleting the label will obviously work. But if the data changes those
deleted labels will not return unless you re-apply labels and delete again.

If you want to email me an example of your chart I will take a look.

Cheers

Andy,

I found an easy solution, just delete the label. Never thought about doing
that, thought if I deleted I would get rid of the actual bar. Have 130
people here at my office, no one could help but now they all think I am the
expert. LOL

thanks so much!!!!

Nope it didn't work for me. I am going to play with the suggestion though.
Think it will work with that. Wondering if I leave out the 0% part if it
would leave it blank?

Yes it should so colour in bar but no label.
Did you try it?

Will that still show the color but not put a label on it? It is on the right
track, never thought to do this. I want it to not have a label if it is
below 3%? Think if I put nothing as the solution it would not put a label???

Thanks for your help,

Hi,

Try this custom number format on the data labels.
[0.03]0%;

I am doing bar charts based on percentages. My titles are Poor, Fair, Good,
Excellent. Usually the % for Poor or Fair is 0% but if it is 2% for Poor and
1% for Fair it looks like 21% because of the size. If it is under 3% I don't
want it to show the title but I still want to show it via color in the chart
so we know there was something chosen other than zero. Is there an If,Then
type of statment I can use to correct this?
