Formatting Data labels on a Clustered Column Chart

Hi There,

Is it possible to format the data labels on a clustered column chart as a percentage of its total?

RE: Formatting Data labels on a Clustered Column Chart

Hi Mitesh,

Thank you for the forum question.

If you click on the down arrow next the the Value you have inserted in the chart and point at Show values as, you have the option to change it to Percentage of Total.

Kind regards

RE: Formatting Data labels on a Clustered Column Chart

Hi Jens,

I still need the Y-axis to read as values but was hoping the data labels above the bars could be formatted as percentages only. Would also need these percentages to be of the cluster column total and not the grand total.

Hi Mitesh,

Sorry that is not possible. You can create percentage measures and filter them by month. If you display them on Cards you can place on top of the charts.

Sorry that is the closest I can get to help you.

Kind regards
