    Bar Chart Shows Wrong Number Format

    I created a mixed bar / stacked bar chart. The vertical axis is labeled in percentage when my data is straight numbers. I when I change the vertical axis format to Number, it treats the bar data as it was a percentage and not a number.

    What am I doing wrong? I have attached the workbook (no sensitive data in it) and the chart is on the tab Stacked Bar.

    Thank you in advance!

    You've chosen "3-D 100% Stacked Column" as your chart type.

    You actually want the chart type "3-D Stacked Column".

    And congratulations.
