Hi,
I am having some trouble understanding the calculations been outputted into my chart.
There are some values seen below that I am using to base some charts on a monthly basis which are not outputting the desired results.

This is the series values in my chart - the results I am getting are 36%/64% for October for example where I am expecting 45%/65%.
How would I reflect this in my chart?

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
For the month of October...

Excel Formula:
Total hours = 2143 + 1182 = 3325

Scheduled percentage = 2143 / 3325 = 64%

Unassigned percentage = 1182 / 3325 = 36%

How are you calculating your percentages?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply - I am not looking for each total combined to be presented as a percentage of the total rather then as a percentage of each other.
I am using the formula (2143 - 1182)/ 2143 = 45%

In that case, I would suggest that you create another table, based on your original one, with the desired calculations. Then create your chart based on those calculations instead.

Hope this helps!
