Data labels in Excel Charts

Please Register to Remove these Ads

Hi, new to this forum so hello all. Here's my problem, hope you can help. I've got a chart I'm trying to make for a friend and I'd like to add data labels to the chart that are not related to the data the chart corresponds to.

The chart is 3 bars each representing 100% one shade is sales in percentage and the other shade is surplus in percentage. I'd like the data label to show the number of sales/surplus rather than the percentage. Is this possible? Thanks in advance.

Re: Data labels in Excel Charts
Try this free addin which will allow you to link data labels to cells

In the cells use formula to construct the information you want displayed
