Default How do I suppress the % sign in a chart?

How do I keep my data as percentages but suppress the % sign on the axis and
value labels? It takes up valuable printing space and serves no useful
purpose, since the axes are already labelled.

Hi,

I'm not sure you can as the % in the formatting multiplys the value by 100.
You would have to use additional cells to store the revised values. Use
a formula to multiply the values by 100 and then just display them as
numbers.

How many %'s do you have? They don't take up that much space but
admittedly I haven't seen you chart :)

Cheers
Andy
