I need some help. I have a bar graph that has values ranging from 98% to
4%. My boss would like me to show the garph maximum value at 10%. He want
to show all bar but at the ones above the 10% he would like to show a break
in the bar and then show the % at the top. He says he has seen it before
and it looks like the bar was pulled apart and it show the bottome portion
up to 10% and then a small portion above the 10% line. He says the edges at
the top looks like a riped piece of paper.

Does anyone know how to do this in done?

Not attempting to solve your problem. But just want to share with you an excellent site (tutorial via video) which I have benefited from a great deal.

Scroll down to "All about charts." It may not give you exactly what you want but may inspire you? I think a bar and line was discussed.

I may want to experiment your request when I have more time later. Let's see what the experts say.

Did your boss see that in a presentation? Wonder if it is done in PowerPoint.

Have you cross-posted to microsoft.public.excel.charting or PowerPoint?
If not, don't do it now until you have waited for a while; something to do with netiquette. Just a thought.

You are welcome! I have a feeling you meant to say *column* chart.

Hope the links on broken columns help.
