Now when I copy the formula throughout the table, we get the percentages we need. I need to lock this reference carefully.I want the rows to change, but columns need to stay fixed as the formula is being copied across the table. In other words, I need to divide C5 by the sum of C5 to F5. Now to get the right percentage, I need to divide each value in the table above by the total value in the same row, which represents one quarter. To start off, I'll copy and paste the whole table and remove the values. What this means is that we need to build our own formulas to calculate percentages, then pull these results into the data labels. Unlike a pie chart, which has a specific option to show percentages, a 100% stacked chart does not have this option.īut there is an option to pull values from other cells. This isn't hard to do, but it does take a little prep work. Looking at the chart, you might wonder how to show the actual percentages in each bar? The result is a chart that shows a proportional breakdown of each quarter by region. In a previous video, we built a 100% stacked column chart, and added data labels to show actual amounts in an abbreviated custom number format.
