Removing the totals on a chart before moving

Due to technical issues I couldn't see how to remove the totals at the bottom of the chart before you move it into a dashboard. I was going to check online later but it would help if there was a quick note.

RE: Removing the totals on a chart before moving

Hi Erica,

I am sorry that you missed this.

I assume you missed the step for the bar chart with agent data. What I did was:

I clicked on the names of the agents left side of the bar chart.
Then I clicked the chart format tab on the ribbon and in the Current Selection group, I clicked Format Selection.
In the Format Axis pane I clicked Categorise in Reverse order. This moves the values from the bottom and the agent will be listed in the same order as on the dashboard.


Kind regards

Excel tip:

Checking formulas with multiple operators

When dealing with formulas containing more than one operator (+, -, /, *), Excel follow standard BEDMAS order of operation rules. These rules specify the order that calculations will be performed in, regardless of how the formula reads left to right:

B = brackets
E = exponents
D = division
M = multiplication
A = addition
S = subtraction

It should be noted that multiplication and division are considered equal; as are addition and subtraction.

If you would like to check the order in which Excel is performing calculations in a formula, simply click on the cell containing the formula. Then go to Tools - Formula Auditing and select Evaluate Formula.

In the Evaluate Formula dialogue box that appears on your screen, click the Evaluate button to see how Excel calculates the formula result.
