Default Chart Value axis

The chart I just made has values of 10%, 20%,30%, 40% and 50%. How do I make
it only show the % sign next to the 50 at the top and not next to the other
numbers?

Thanks

You'll have to plot numbers not percentages (percent time 100), then use a
custom number format:

[=50]0"%";0_%

The % in quotes means use a % character without using a percent format, the
_% means skip a blank space as wide as a 5 character, so the numbers line
up.
