Move Data Series Manually
Hi
I have a combination graph: stacked column and line graph Stacked Column: Number of Points Compliant Number of Points Non-Comliant Line: YTD % Compliant Monthly % Comliant. With the line YTD % Compliant I have on the secondary axis (which is fine) The Monthly % Compliant I have removed the line and am using the Markers... How do I Move the Monthly % to the top of the graph (above the Stacked columns) regardless of the value. ie I dont want it associated with an axis. Many thanks Tracey |

All series in a chart need to be associated with a series. What do you mean,
you're trying to move the markers to the top of the graph? Aren't the markers supposed to indicate a value? - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ Advanced Excel Conference - Training in Charting and Programming http://peltiertech.com/Training/2009...00906ACNJ.html _______ "Tracey" wrote in message ...

Hi Jon,
Yes the markers are supposed to indicate a value... The % Compliant value gets lost in the graph so the requirement is to show the value at the top. Month: Jan Feb March Sample Size 10 15 8 Compliant Sample 5 5 6 Non- Compliant 5 10 2 % Compliant 50% 33% 25% YTD % 50% 40% 36% I am more than happy to show you what I have done so far as it would be easy to explain.

I meant the position of the markers should indicate a value, but I think you
mean the data labels on the markers indicates the value. I think I would use an approach like this: http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/gro...a-panel-chart/ with perhaps the columns of counts in the bottom panel and two lines with percentages in the top. Here's another panel chart explanation: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/ChartsH...venScales.html If you just want labels to show the percentages, plot your data with appropriate Y values that put the points near the top, hide the lines and markers, and use one of these free Excel utilities to add the labels you've calculated to the now hidden data points: Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com/Utilities/ChartLabeler.htm John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/files/charttools.htm - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ Advanced Excel Conference - Training in Charting and Programming http://peltiertech.com/Training/2009...00906ACNJ.html _______ "Tracey" wrote in message ...
