Default 100% stacked column chart with negative numbers

By definition you cannot (or at least should not) have negative numbers in
this type of chart. It's like trying to show negative numbers in a pie
chart. You could expand the Y axis of your chart so it shows negative
numbers, and the chart will show X% negative and (100-X)% positive. In your
case, 100% doesn't go from 0% to 100%, it goes from -20% to 80%.

Without knowing more about your data, it's anyone's guess how better to show
the data. Perhaps a clustered chart.

How do you create a 100% stacked column chart with negative numbers?
After I
create the chart it only goes up to 80%
