hiding % characted in the Y axis using custom format
Few weeks ago I have seen a presentation where by using custom format it was
possible to format the Y axis so that it was displaying the % only next to 100 and all the rest of the axis was displaying numbers without %. It was like 100% 80 60 40 20 0 I do not remember the syntax of this custom format. Can someone refresh my memory ? How it was done ? Regards Tony |

hiding % characted in the Y axis using custom format
Sounds like someone but a textbox over the 100 to make it 100%

If the values where plain numbers then try
[=100]General\%;General Cheers Andy Tony wrote: Few weeks ago I have seen a presentation where by using custom format it was possible to format the Y axis so that it was displaying the % only next to 100 and all the rest of the axis was displaying numbers without %.

hiding % characted in the Y axis using custom format
I did say plain numbers, by which I meant not those being converted to
percentages. The % in the number format not only adds the % sign it also multiplys the value by 100. I don't think you can lose the % sign with your data. You would need to use a helper column to factor up the values first. Maybe you could contact whoever gave the presentation and ask how they did it?
