I have a stacked graph that adds up revenue in components, however I want data labels that show percentage of total revenue (as opposed to to the actual revenue of the component that pops up) Anyone know how to do this?
I do not. However, I need to figure out how to get rid of the “0” at my axis intersect. My principal chewed me out for 5 minutes because I had two “0’s” at the axis intersect.
@ Jscott24: You’ll have to create another column in your datasheet that is % based. Then source the chart from there and set your y range to 0-1 (i.e. 0% - 100%)
^right that’s the long way…but I know this is possible because I’m looking at it, some silly banker gave it to me…
You just choose that type of graph ie where all the bars are of equal height
Well, almost giving up but I’ll try to do a visual Y axis $100M $80M $60M $40M X Axis 2007, 2008, 2009 Stacked column with data labels 20% 30% 50%
How do I break an X-axis? I am displaying CAGR for 13 companies and the avg falls to about 10% but one company has 213% and it is killing my chart. HELP!
^set the axis maximum value to a number just above your next highest CAGR. right click on the x-axis, click ‘format axis’ and it’ll bring up the box to the max value – it’s probably currently set to ‘auto’.
nuppal thanks for the excel models in the other thread, i think they are a good base “that being said”, you’re killing me here
I already set the max-min, my graph is getting killed due to this f*cking CAGR…
oh i see. is it an unweighted average? maybe weight by something meaningful like mkt cap?? or if it’s an outlier, show the average including and excluding that company.
…you could add a secondary axis and plot that series on that one… just select series and I believe in the format menu it will allow “plot on secondary axis” option access != axis 
typo
I haven’t tried it, but here’s a complicated way to at least make it look pretty: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/BrokenYAxis.html

This is what I ended up doing, I have two charts now, one with and one without. My principal was adamant that we include this company on the chart. It is unweighted. Y-Axis is Op. Margin X-Axis is CAGR over a 3 year period Point size is dependant on 08 Revenue.
