Thread: How do I add Cumulative values to Stacked Bar chart?

I have a stacked bar chart in which i want to show the value label of each
section and show the cumlative value. So if there is section A,B,C and A= 1,
B= 2, C = 3 I want each section to have those labels but i also want labels
that say 1, 3, 6 for the cumulative values. Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

Use a helper column to build the required text for each data label.

So if you data values are in B2:B4 then put the following in C2 and copy
down.

="Value = " & B2 & CHAR(10) &"CumValue=" & SUM($B$2:B2)

Then use either of these free addin to make the linking of cells and
data labels easier.
