I'm in trouble to modify bar chart

Hi jaemin,

Perhaps a Pie Chart will do what you want

Hi jaemin,

Thanks for your feedback. To answer your original question, it will help if you insert a new table to calculate Percent.

Format the cells in B as Percentage.

Formula in B2 of the Percent table (and Fill Down)

=Total Sales::B2÷Total Sales::B$5

The 'divide by' symbol looks like a 'plus' symbol at this forum resolution, but it isn't.

Note the $ symbol in the formula to keep B$5 fixed on Gross Sales as you Fill Down.

I had to click on Edit Data References > Plot Rows as Series (bottom Left of the Numbers window).

Then click on each Series and Format Panel > Series > Value Labels > Same as Source Data

but I think you have already worked that out 😉.

Thanks for the gold star.

Regards,
Ian.

Hi Ian and jaemin,

I've discovered you don't really need to have an intermediate table to calculate percentage. Here I achieved the same effect without an extra table by selecting range A1:B3 and from the menu choosing 'Insert > Chart > 2D Stacked Bar', then clicking 'Edit Data References' and choosing 'Plot Rows as Series' (lower left), then selecting 'Percentage' for 'Axys Scale' and 'Value Labels'.
